Cloud Hypervisor Project welcomes AMD as a Member of the Advisory Board

Verfasst vonpipin

As a mem­ber of the Advi­so­ry Board, AMD will help dri­ve open source col­la­bo­ra­ti­on and deve­lo­p­ment in the Cloud Hyper­vi­sor community.

SAN FRANCISCO, Novem­ber 8, 2022 – The Cloud Hyper­vi­sor Pro­ject, a lea­ding vir­tu­al machi­ne moni­tor (VMM) for run­ning modern cloud workloads, is exci­ted to wel­co­me AMD to their Advi­so­ry Board. The Linux Foun­da­ti­on and the foun­ding mem­bers of the Cloud Hyper­vi­sor Pro­ject would like to wel­co­me AMD and look for­ward to working with them to fos­ter an envi­ron­ment of open source collaboration.

Sin­ce 2021, the Cloud Hyper­vi­sor Pro­ject, under the umbrel­la of the Linux Foun­da­ti­on, has had broad sup­port across indus­tries – inclu­ding both from CPU manu­fac­tu­r­ers as well as public cloud ope­ra­tors. The Cloud Hyper­vi­sor pro­ject is desi­gned for sup­port­ing modern workloads both on the Edge as well as on the Cloud.  As the Linux Foun­da­ti­on con­ti­nues to stan­dar­di­ze key com­pon­ents of the soft­ware stack for mana­ging and orchest­ra­ting modern workloads, Cloud Hyper­vi­sor will con­ti­nue to play an important role.

As a major CPU ven­dor, AMD’s decis­i­on to join the pro­ject is a reflec­tion on the momen­tum of this effort to stan­dar­di­ze one of the key tech­no­lo­gy com­pon­ents in a modern vir­tua­liza­ti­on stack – the vir­tu­al machi­ne moni­tor. A VMM uses the func­tion­a­li­ty sur­faced by a hyper­vi­sor to help crea­te and mana­ge vir­tu­al machi­nes. In addi­ti­on to mana­ging the CPU and memo­ry resour­ces among­st the vir­tu­al machi­nes under manage­ment, a VMM also pro­vi­des both I/O and plat­form resour­ces for the guest vir­tu­al machines.

“AMD looks for­ward to brin­ging our robust port­fo­lio and expe­ri­ence to the Cloud Hyper­vi­sor pro­ject to dri­ve more free­dom and choice into the vir­tua­liza­ti­on space,” said Robert Hor­muth, CVP of Archi­tec­tu­re and Stra­tegy, Dat­a­cen­ter Solu­ti­ons Group, AMD.

“As a major CPU ven­dor, AMDs con­tri­bu­ti­ons to the Cloud Hyper­vi­sor will be super valuable,” said K. Y Sri­ni­va­san, Advi­so­ry Board Mem­ber from Micro­soft.

Cloud Hyper­vi­sor wel­co­mes orga­niza­ti­ons and con­tri­bu­tors from around the world to help dri­ve the inno­va­ti­on and adop­ti­on of cut­ting-edge VMMs for cloud-based workloads.
