XCP Kronos support
Project Kronos is an initiative to port the XenAPI toolstack to Debian and Ubuntu in order to deliver all packages that are needed to run the Xen Cloud Platform (XCP), via Debian and Ubuntu package managers. In a nutshell, all you will need to do get the latest version of Xen, the XenAPI toolstack and other components delivered in XCP is to execute "apt-get install xcp-xapi". This blueprint involves the necessary work to ensure Kronos is installable from the Ubuntu Universe archive for 12.04LTS.
A current PPA for Project Kronos is here: https:/

Session Notes:
AGENDA:
- What is XCP and Kronos?
- Current state of Project Kronos
- Work remaining (porting and packaging)
- Ubuntu next-steps?
- Could we used clustered LVM instead of our own version? Perhaps, but we haven't investigated that yet.
- Can we ship XCP's modified LVM with Ubuntu? Yes, it is conceivable that this could work. Some patches could even be upstreamed, but likely not all of them.
