Hello,

Which projects launched by help of Xen Project?

I know Xen made AWS

(...made AWS practical? Would definitely be true, at that time the more/less open alternatives didn't really care about serious use cases beyond the desktop, especially not at bigger-than-VMware scales, while Xen rooted from Grid stuff...)

What I can throw in, and is still alive in some form:

Obviously there's Hypervisors that are rooted in Xen.

There's the ones that were always close, Citrix XenServer and XCP.

IIRC MS Hyper-V started off from a XenServer source code license.

(But with more rigid engineering).

But also Oracle VM and Huawei Fusionsphere.

There's some been some modernization of Fujitsu mainframe models on Intel that was enabled by Xen.
