Welcome to Getting started with Xen Virtualization On CentOS 7.x. Xen is an open-source bare-metal hypervisor which allows you to run different operating systems in parallel on a single host machine. This type of hypervisor is normally referred to as a hypervisortype 1 in Virtualization world. Meltdown and Spectre Mitigation on Xen 6.5 and Xen 7.x Xen is used as a basis for Server virtualization, Desktop virtualization, Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and embedded/hardware appliances. The ability of physical host system to run multiple guest VMs can vastly improve the utilization of the underlying hardware. Cutting-edge features of Xen hypervisor Xen is operating system agnostic – Main control stack (domain 0) can be Linux, NetBSD, OpenSolaris e.t.c Driver Isolation capability – Xen can allow the main device driver for a system to run inside of a virtual machine. The VM can be rebooted in case of driver failure/crash without affecting the rest of the system. Paravirtualization support: This allows fully paravirtualized guests to run much faster as compared to a fully virtualized guest using hardware virtualization extensions (HVM). Small footprint and interface -Xen hypervisor use microkernel design resulting in a footprint of around in1MB size. This small memory footprint and limited interface to the guest makes Xen more robust and secure than other hypervisors. Xen Project packages Xen project packages consist of: Xen Project-enabled Linux kernel Xen hypervisor itself Modified Version of QEMU – support for HVM Set of userland tools Xen Components The Xen Project hypervisor is responsible for handling CPU, Memory, and interrupts as it runs directly on the hardware. It runs immediately after exiting bootloader. domain/guest is a running instance of virtual machine. Below is a list of Xen Project Components: Xen Project hypervisor: It runs directly on the hardware. The hypervisor is responsible for managing memory, CPU, and interrupts. It has no knowledge of I/O functions such as networking and storage. The control Domain (Domain 0): Domain0 is a special domain which contains the drivers for all the devices in the host system and control stack to manage virtual machine lifecycle – creation, destruction, and configuration. Guest Domains/Virtual Machines: Guest refers to the operating system running in a virtualized environment. There are two modes of virtualization supported by Xen hypervisor: Paravirtualization (PV) : Hardware-assisted or Full Virtualization (HVM) Both of the above guest types can be used at the same time on a single hypervisor. Paravirtualization techniques can as well be used in an HVM guest (PV on HVM) – essentially creating a continuum between PV and HVM. The Guest VMs are called Unprivileged domain (or DomU) since they have no privileged access to hardware or I/O functionality. In other words, they are totally isolated from the hardware. 4. Toolstack and Console: Toolstack is a control stack under whichDomain 0 allows a user to manage virtual machine creation, configuration, and destruction. It exposes an interface that can be used on command line Console. on a graphical interface or by a cloud orchestration stack such as OpenStack or CloudStack. A console is the interface to the outside world. PV vs HVM Paravirtualization (PV) Efficient and lightweight virtualization technique that was originally introduced by Xen project. Hypervisor provides API used by the OS of the Guest VM Guest OS needs to be modified to provide the API Does not require virtualization extensions from the host CPU. PV guests and control domains require PV-enabled kernel and PV drivers to let the guests be aware of the hypervisor and can run efficiently without emulation or virtual emulated hardware. Functionalities implemented by Paravirtualization include: Interrupt and timers Disk and Network drivers Emulated Motherboard and Legacy Boot

Privileged Instructions and Page tables Hardware-assisted virtualization (HVM) – Full Virtualization Uses CPU VM extensions from host CPU to handle Guest requests. Requires Intel VT or AMD-V hardware extensions. Fully virtualized guests do not require any kernel support. Hence Windows operating systems can be used as a Xen Project HVM guest. The Xen Project software uses Qemu to emulate PC hardware, including BIOS, IDE disk controller, VGA graphics adapter, USB controller, network adapter etc. Performance of emulation is boosted using hardware extensions. In terms of performance, fully virtualized guests are usually slower than paravirtualized guests, because of the required emulation. Note that it is possible to use PV Drivers for I/O to speed up HVM guest PVHVM – PV-on-HVM drivers PVH mode combines the best elements of HVM and PV Allows H/W virtualized guests to use PV disk and I/O drivers No modifications to guest OS HVM guests use optimized PV drivers to boost Performance – bypasses the emulation of disk and network IO resulting in a better performance on HVM systems. Optimal performance on guests operating systems such as Windows. PVHVM drivers are only required for HVM (fully virtualized) guest VMs. Installing Xen on CentOS 7.x Follow these steps to install Xen Hypervisor environment: 1. Enable CentOS Xen Repository sudo yum -y install centos-release-xen 2. Update kernel and install and Xen: sudo yum -y update kernel && sudo yum -y install xen 3. Configure GRUB to start Xen Project Because the hypervisor starts before your operating system we need to change how the system boot process is setup: sudo vi /etc/default/grub Change memory amount for Domain0 to match your memory allocated. GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN_DEFAULT="dom0_mem=2048M,max:4096M cpuinfo com1=115200,8n1 console=com1,tty loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all" 4. Run grub-bootxen.sh script to make sure grub is updated /boot/grub2/grub.cfg bash `which grub-bootxen.sh` Confirm the values have been modified: grep dom0_mem /boot/grub2/grub.cfg 5. Reboot your server sudo systemctl reboot 6. Once you reboot, verify that the new kernel is running with: # uname -r 7. Verify that Xen is running using: # xl info host : xen.example.com release : 3.18.21-17.el7.x86_64 machine : x86_64 nr_cpus : 6 max_cpu_id : 5 nr_nodes : 1 cores_per_socket : 1 threads_per_core : 1 ......................................................................... Deploy first VM At this point, you should be ready to bring up your first VM. In this demo, I’ll use virt-install deploy a VM on Xen. sudo yum --enablerepo=centos-virt-xen -y install libvirt libvirt-daemon-xen virt-install sudo systemctl enable libvirtd sudo systemctl start libvirtd The HostOS install in Xen is known as Dom0. Virtual Machines (VMs) running via Xen are known as DomU’s. virt-install -d \ --connect xen:/// \ --name testvm \ --os-type linux \ --os-variant rhel7 \ --vcpus=1 \ --paravirt \ --ram 1024 \ --disk /var/lib/libvirt/images/testvm.img,size=10 \ --nographics -l "http://192.168.122.1/centos/7.2/os/x86_64" \ --extra-args="text console=com1 utf8 console=hvc0" If you would like to control DomU VMs using graphical application, consider installing virt-manager sudo yum -y install virt-manager Read more from Xen Documentation page.

@argumate *politely* fuck that?

why would anyone want to live like this

So uh, I've done this twice before and:

A) It wasn't this bad (12-14 hour days instead of 16 and also I saw 3 Tiger's games and then took a couple days of PTO on down to south of Vegas to take pictures of the Milky Way). The first guy let me fly back home across the country 6 weeks into my employment to attend my mother's wedding. I have no idea what Mehul is doing in his current startup, but I'll give you a cold intro because I'd work for him again.

B) Professionally, it's actually a ton of fun.

An entire company gets built in your image because you control the entire toolstack from top to bottom. Oh GOD, it's all you, but actually you know what, it is all you. And it's all your likes and all your hates and all your particular scars and toolsets and experience and things you wanted to learn.

In practice, they tend to have existing toolstacks and if you go completely mad with power, they tend to notice, but things like "Our EC2 instances are tagged in a specific obsessive way because I need them to be tagged in an obsessive way so I can pick up that tagging in this IAM role I wrote over here which is in turn going to impact the tainting of our k8s". Not only can you do that, but no one cares. Because there's maybe 3 people at the company qualified to comment.

And part of that is that if you give me some free reign and any slack time at all (and at least at first, I can be working until midnight; It can't last, but there is a bootstrapping problem here and I'm aware), the reason I'm working through those two months of hell is to build the tools to build the tools to build the tools so that something that was impossible takes an hour and specialized training, then takes 5 minutes, then takes one button.

So the startup that hammered me to the point of losing 15 pounds in 3 weeks because I was too busy to eat just let me go for cultural fit reasons (I wanted to attend my sister's wedding and they work weekends). So in three weeks, I had enabled multi-account, terraform, corporate ECR registries using Terraform to push to terraformed environments in multiple accounts, was giving a pretty good crack at CI, and was about 80% done moving off our setup to Role-based access control. If you're the sort of company that needs a broad generalist ops/infra/platform/SRE person who'd admittedly prefer not to overwork himself quite this badly (Hello, my sister's wedding is on a Saturday and I need to GO. I worked at a fast-paced seed round startup with a successful exit and still made it to my mother's wedding back in 2013), hello.

110 Best Marketing Tools To Consider When Building Your Toolstack https://t.co/uOGyZrHlcc https://t.co/fTWOr4yP7l

[topicprinter]

So, recently I've been called in for an interview for a VP of Customer Success. I hesitate a bit because of my opinion that I still need added experiences before I can completely fill those shoes but decided to give it a shot anyways.Prior to the interview I've proactively create a draft of the Customer Journey for the discovery phase where I presented their referrals , how their strategy needs to evolve and what are the pain points of customers/visitors that discover their service. I also did a draft churn prevention process where I outlined what in-app and websites activities trigger which(used intercom as an example) proactive action, how that is mapped with their ticket system and how the data is stored in their CRM and CSM tools and later on used to ensure the health scores and retention remain high etc. They were thrilled and one of the co-owners wanted to give me the job on the spot however the VP of marketing hesitated which I understood as he was in charge for this hire and he was not the one to invite me.I was later informed that a colleague of mine got the job but that they would like to see me there as his "right hand" man to which I expressed interest. And the offer came that simply baffled me.To sum it up I will be integrating and maintaining the toolstack(CSM, CRM, ticket system, intercom, gapps etc), developing processes and procedures with focuses on sales, cross-sales, up-sale, retention, churn prevention and conversion. I will get ownership of defining the Customer Journey, defining and resolving the pain points of customers, creating the QC protocol and managing a QC team later on, defining our SLA's and based on them creating our skill matrix and defining our staffing needs, ownership of our analytics and creating reports in regards to our progress and where we need to be. These were all a part of the VP's responsibilities that I know my colleagues can't do which is why they probably want me there however unlike the VP position mine pays 3 times less, doesn't come with any benefits, doesn't offer any bonuses, doesn't have a clear career progression in terms of salary increase.I was pretty pumped for this gig and was even okay for my starting salary to be that low given the responsibilities I would have because I get the struggle startups go through and they are in my hometown but to me it's a deal breaker that someone will get a huge salary and an incredible bonus based on my work while I get crumbs.I'm currently employed so I'm not worried about a job but I'm struggling to make a decision either way simply because I would be able to help out my parents a bit more and not just send them money and would once again be with my friends and family.How would you approach this?TL;DR OP received a potentially life changing offer, instead got a gray hair inducing offer for a fraction of the pay but struggles with the decision as the job is exciting and allows OP to be with his family.

BadgeKit is coming!

This past summer, the Open Badges team had the great opportunity of introducing digital badges at a citywide scale through the Chicago Summer of Learning (CSOL). We worked in collaboration with the city and on the ground organizations like Hive Chicago and Digital Youth Network with the support of the MacArthur foundation to reach out to more than 100 Chicago-based organizations to create an end-to-end badging system. As mentioned in my previous blogpost, to support this initiative, we created a set of tools and services to help the 100+ Chicago based organizations to design, define, assess, and issue badges and for participating learners to collect, manage, share and discover badges.  Following a successful summer of learning, we've been getting increased interest from other cities and organizations who would like to replicate the badging model initiated in Chicago. We're thrilled about this interest and would like to facilitate the adoption of other CSOL like initiatives in a scalable way. This would entail us going back to the tools and services we built for CSOL and for the ecosystem, modularizing them, and making them readily implementable for organizations in a light-weight, open-source way.  The idea is to make it as simple as possible for organizations to pick up the specific tool they need for their badge system development and implement it into their environments. Time and time again, we've heard that the barrier to entry is still too high. We want to lower that barrier. With that in mind, we started writing down the requirements and goals for what this collection of tools might be.  The key verbs that we kept using over and over again when trying to get crisp about this tool collection were as follows:

Design badges: Enable organizations (or individuals) to visually design their badges

Define badges: Enable organizations (or individuals) to define the information behind the badge according to the open badges standard, i.e. metadata specification

Assess badges: Enable organizations to define rubrics for assessment and assess the badges accordingly

Issue badges: Enable organizations (or individuals) to issue their badges once the criteria is met

Collect and manage badges: Enable learners to see all the badges they have earned in one place, organize and manage them

Share badges: Enable learners to share their earned badges easily across the web

Discover badges: Enable learners, issuers (and down the road employers) to discover new badges and badge owners

We took those verbs and matched them with the tools we had built either for CSOL or as part of building out our ecosystem and they aligned as follows:

Design - Badge Studio

Define - Open Badger

Assess - Aestimia

Issue - Open Badger

Collect & manage - Backpack

Share - Backpack

Discover - CSOL Backpack

So we already have a lot of the components of what would comprise this stack of tools, which we've started calling BadgeKit. But we have work to do in order to clean these component pieces up and modularize them into light-weight, open-source tools that would work like Lego pieces that an organization or individual can build and stack according to their tailored needs.  At this moment, we're finalizing and cleaning up the requirements for each verb. And we want you to weigh in. We'll be holding a BadgeKit session at the upcoming Mozfest during which we'll explore with the community, questions on how this toolstack could benefit them.  We want to tackle questions like the following:

What are the challenges you foresee and or have endured in developing a badge system?

What focus would you like to see developed to satisfy your badge system development needs?

What are the use cases for BadgeKit that we should explore further?

We'll be talking a lot more about the BadgeKit moving forward at Mozfest, during our community calls and on our mailing lists. The community is a critical part of the development of BadgeKit since it is being built precisely to service our community interested in being a part of the open badges ecosystem. We are looking forward to hearing your thoughts on BadgeKit and incorporating your feedback. 

In the mean time, here's  a teaser BadgeKit postcard created by our own Jess Klein:
