Hey,
We're a bit behind on writing up descriptions for the virt features coming in F11, but here's the first two pages:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtVNCAuth
Define a mapping of SASL authentication into the VNC protocol, and implement it for QEMU and GTK-VNC, providing strongly authenticated, securely encrypted remote access of virtual guest consoles.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KVM_PCI_Device_Assignment
Assign PCI devices from your KVM host machine to guest virtual machines. A common example is assigning a network card to a guest.
Please jump in with comments, testing, wiki edits, etc.
Cheers, Mark.
Hi,
Here's another one:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KVM_and_QEMU_merge
Glommer is fleshing out more of the details on this as we speak.
Cheers, Mark.

Great stuff! I'm actively looking to fill slots (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/F11) for upcoming test days.
Glommer, just let me know if you would like to have a Fedora Test Day for this feature. We can use the a test day for whatever you feel needs the most attention (unit tests, test planning, test case development, exploratory testing, integration etc...).
Just let me know how I can of service :)
Thanks, James

That would be awesome, since the last release we have for qemu is so old, that problems are likely to appear. Be it with an hypotetical official qemu release, be it with one of our own.

I have a test build of it at:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1076765
I haven't underwent any kind of testing yet, and it does not include kvm support - To make it step by step, I based it on qemu-svn, not kvm-userspace.git
Hi,
Another one:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Shared_Network_Interface
"Enable guest virtual machines to share a physical network interface (NIC) with other guests and the host operating system. This allows guests to independently appear on the same network as the host machine."
Cheers, Mark.
Hey, Yet another feature page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SVirt_Mandatory_Access_Control
Cheers, Mark.

Nice work :-)
One thing that's missing is a "new features and improvements" for KVM - both the kvm package, and the kvm support in the kernel.
Thanks, Mark,
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Documentation_Virtualization_Beat
From that page, it says:
'The kernel-xen package has been obsoleted by the integration of paravirtualization operations in the upstream kernel. The kernel package in Fedora 11 supports booting as a guest domU, but will not function as a dom0 until such support is provided upstream. The most recent Fedora release with dom0 support is Fedora 8.'
As I write this, I am running F10 on a hardware virt enabled machine (Dell Latitude D620) and have installed F10 and other distros as guests. Hence, the statement above is unclear to me for F10 is running as both dom0 and domU.
Am I not reading something right?

I think you're using KVM, not Xen :-)
Dom0 and DomU are only terms we use in relation to Xen - when talking about KVM, we usually use the terms "host" and "guest".
The release note could be changed to "Xen Kernel Support" rather than "Unified Kernel Image" and be moved towards the end of the notes. A casual user doesn't really even need to know about KVM vs. Xen.
Cheers, Mark.

That's right. I am running KVM.

Indeed. The clarity was what was missing.

Excellent suggestion. That paragraph has not yet been edited since the F10 release. Other than s/10/11/g.

I don't know what you're running, but it certainly isn't a Fedora Xen Dom0, since this does not exist. F9, F10 and F11 only support Xen DomU
The only host virtualization support is KVM

I think Mark has already alluded to the fact that page is not specific about Xen. I am running KVM.
