Hello,
I am fascinated by virtualization technology, and when I learned that aws is a long time user of xen hypervisor, I want to install it on my xeon workstation at home so I can boot multiple os images and a pihole and any other things in their own images and manage the whole situation from xen orchestra.
Before I dive in and do this, am I correct in my intuition that there would be less overall hypervisor overhead and potentially less mouse input lag hosting a windows or linux vm on citrix xen server vs. xen running on linux on bare metal?
The main headache I want to eliminate is disconnecting from my VMs while rebooting 1 OS instance.
In my experiment I want to determine how much if at all mouse input lag exists and whether this is an issue.
I want to really showcase how awesome virtualization can be for power users and light gamers.
Another thing comes to mind, with the increasing popularity of Kubernetes & docker containerized workloads, would there be a certain configuration of citrix xen server that would be better adapted to also potentially hosting app containers?
I noticed ProxMox appear to be compatible with both OS images and also containers which, though interesting also strikes me possibly more of a hobbyist oriented product than an enterprise grade skill set, which I understand being able to build with the xen platform clearly is.
I appreciate any input and insight you may want to contribute, I look forward to sharing my test results with you.
Cheers,
Anis
