XCP-ng project

olivier

The short term goal is to have:

the latest XS version with "XenServer" name replaced by XCP-ng
removal of all feature restriction
easy upgrade path from XS to XCP-ng

Mid-term goal:

rely on RPM repo for all operations
validate/authorize more vanilla packages to be used on Dom0 for more integrations within Xen and XAPI

Long-term goal:

contribute directly to mainline (XAPI/drivers)
re-unite XAPI into a mainline without license check

Seriously - this is fantastic stuff !!

The one thing that kept me from using XenServer at my current server provider is that I couldn't get XAPI to listen on custom ports.

PLEASE make that something easily done!

NB: I haven't used XenServer since 7.0.

Once there is an ISO I'd be happy to test, I'd be interesting in helping the upgrade process as well.

There's now a Kickstarter campaign where we can pledge to support this project. I've already made my pledge. How about you?

momurda

Yeah this looks really promising

warren.stanley

I backed this.... I mean, the logo itself is a winner . I’m almost as excited to be getting a shirt as a fantastic modern hypervisor platform to move forward with!

CloudKnight

This project looks so promising for previous xenserver users.

Be great to see an option to import xen-orchestra built into the project, wherever that imports the VM for you or installs on the host itself.
