Karen Noel — Senior Manager, Software Engineering, Red Hat

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the foundation of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform. The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor, embedded in Red Hat Enterprise Linux and based on Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) technology, provides the virtualization stack. In this session, the engineering manager of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization team will discuss current KVM features found in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 host systems. We’ll share a sneak peek of upcoming KVM features, including those related to network functions virtualization (NFV) and KVM on Power8, and give you time to offer your feedback to the engineering team.
