Yesterday Red Hat offered a press release regarding virtualization in RHEL 5. Red Hat says:
“Customers care about open interoperability and certification for running joint Red Hat and VMware environments,” said Brian Stevens, CTO at Red Hat. “With this relationship, the two virtualization platforms that Red Hat Enterprise Linux will support are the VMware platform and the Red Hat Integrated Virtualization platform that will be available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The wide adoption of open source is a result of the commitment to interoperability. Support for our joint customers is just one more example of the efficacy of true open source development.”
Red Hat Integrated Virtualization platform means Xen of course, combined with Red Hat’s libvirt and virtualization manager.
The release further states that “Red Hat has already certified VMware Infrastructure as both a certified software application and a certified virtual hardware platform for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.”.
