Cloud Hypervisor 44 Released With New Performance Improvements

([Virtualization] 3 Hours Ago Cloud Hypervisor 44.0)


Cloud Hypervisor 44 is now available as the newest version of this security and cloud minded Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) that operates atop Linux's KVM and the Microsoft MSHV Hypervisor.

With Cloud Hypervisor 44 there comes new performance improvements with the VIRTIO_BLK_F_SEG_MAX feature being enabled for VirtIO block devices. This is said to yield significant performance throughput improvements for VirtIO block storage. In some cases the read and write throughput can be boosted in ranges from 1.2~2.1x over the prior code.

Cloud Hypervisor 44 also has a change to the IO_uring handling that in turn should help improve performance and reduce RAM usage as well as lowering CPU contention.

Plus Cloud Hypervisor 44 has new fuzzers, a number of bug fixes, and other minor refinements. Cloud Hypervisor was worked on by developers from Crusoe Energy, Rivos, Microsoft, and other organizations.

In caring for others and serving heaven,
There is nothing like using restraint.
Restraint begins with giving up one's own ideas.
This depends on Virtue gathered in the past.
If there is a good store of Virtue, then nothing is impossible.
If nothing is impossible, then there are no limits.
If a man knows no limits, then he is fit to be a ruler.
The mother principle of ruling holds good for a long time.
This is called having deep roots and a firm foundation,
The Tao of long life and eternal vision.
