Xen Developer Summit 2015

A lot of progress has been made in the libvirt libxl driver since the last Xen Developer Summit. Looking back at the "Planned Improvements" slide from last year's presentation, most items have been implemented, committed upstream, and included in a release. In addition, there have been concurrency and stability improvements in libxl and libvirt to help elevate OpenStack+libvirt+Xen to supported status. But there are many more improvements and features waiting in the queue. This talk provides an update of the current status of libxl support in libvirt, highlights important missing features that might be interesting to community developers wanting to hack on libvirt, and discusses libxl improvements that could benefit libvirt.
