[$] A recap of KVM Forum 2019

The 13th KVMForum virtualization conference took place in Lyon, France in October2019. One might think that development may have finished on the KernelVirtual Machine (KVM) module that was merged in Linux 2.6.20 in 2007, butthis year's conference underscored the amount of work still being done,particularly on side-channel attack mitigation, I/O device assignment withVFIO and mdev, footprint reduction with micro virtual machines (VMs), andwith the ability to run VMs nested within VMs. Many talks also involved the virtual machinemonitor (VMM) user-space programs that use the KVM kernel module-of whichQEMU is the most widely used.
