Documentation

XenAPI Admin Project has the goal to make using XenAPI systems easier. Currently this entails writing documentation (manpages, howtos) and tools for the command line. Later his project may morph into something else, only time will tell.

Command line

Products usable on Xen

Mirage OS is a library operating system that constructs unikernels for secure, high-performance network applications across a variety of cloud computing and mobile platforms. Code can be developed on a normal OS such as Linux or MacOS X, and then compiled into a fully-standalone, specialised unikernel that runs under the Xen hypervisor.

The Haskell Lightweight Virtual Machine (HaLVM) is a port of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler toolsuite that enables developers to write high-level, lightweight virtual machines that can run directly on the Xen hypervisor.
