Edera, a top Xen hypervisor company, is shifting gears and will start supporting KVM as well this summer, reports Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols in today’s lead story.

If you use Edera for secure, lightweight virtual machines (VMs), Vaughan-Nichols writes, you may have seen the company state that its hypervisor of choice, Xen, is “architected for security first.” Meanwhile Linux’s built-in Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is described as a general‑purpose hypervisor with an expanded attack surface.

That was then. This is now.

We have the full story and an interview with Alex Zenla, Edera’s co-founder and CTO, on why the company has shifted gears.

Go deeper: Edera spent years calling KVM less secure. Here’s why it changed its mind.
