  Vates demoed on kubecon an ARM workstation running XCP-ng, a xen-based virtualization platform.

  It’s still early days, but I’m hoping it can reach homelabs, the big question being hardware enablement, which is difficult on ARM baseboards due to lack of standardization.

  Disclaimer: I work with Vates, and prepared some component to compile under ARM to prepare the demo.

  I know, yes. But I’m talking about virtualization, not containerizarion

  Personally, I want to properly isolate the services with virtualization. The main reason is I expose some of the services online, and I don’t t want to only rely on keeping all software up-to-date at all times. This allows me to limit the damage if one of the services is compromised.

  I wouldn’t use MacOS as the virtualization platform, and instead use something else, like BSD, Linux, or xen-based for my servers

  Did Synology just hire some brain dead Broadcom executive?

  Well, Citrix got their CEO.

  Xcp-ng might have the edge against bare metal because Windows uses virtualization by default uses Virtualization-Based Security (VBS). Under xcp-ng it can’t use that since nested virtualization can’t be enabled.

  But the individual network packets are usually at most 1500 byes long, and applications encrypt the content. Hashing doesn’t prevent jack squat. It’s more likely to be DNS + IP blocks
