Introducing OSv: A New Open Source Operating System for the Cloud - A. Kivity, G. Costa Cloudius
Channel: The Linux Foundation
Date: 16/11/2013

A lot of the cloud discussion centers around which are the best hypervisors, and which management tools will simplify one_s life the most. But is it the whole story? While addressing the problems from the lower and higher layers, the middle man -- the guest operating system -- is usually left behind. 
In this talk will introduce OSv, a new, from-scratch operating system designed specifically for cloud deployments. We will showcase the operating system architecture and explain the performance and manageability improvements that can be expected.
Operating system developers, as well as application developers who deploy to the cloud may enjoy the talk. No special expertise is required. http://www.linuxfoundation.org/
