Built in Support
ASL 2.2 includes built in support for the following Virtualization technologies:
vserver kvm/qemu lguest VMWare(TM) Xen
This means that you can run ASL on a virtualized machine using these technologies. Not all of the features of ASL will work with every technology. The following article defines the levels as follows:
- Full Support: All ASL features will work
- Built in Virtualization: All ASL features will work, plus ASL can act as a virtualization host.
- ASL minus kernel: All ASL features will work, except for features in the ASL kernel. These technologies either do not allow the replacement of the kernel (VPS) or do not work with the ASL kernel (Xen)
Full Support
ASL has ful support for the following virtualization technologies:
vserver kvm/qemu lguest VMWare(TM)
Built in Virtualization
vserver kvm/qemu lguest
This means you can use ASL for your virtualization needs if you prefer to use vserver, kvm or lguest as your host server. ASL can be used as a virtualization server if you plan to use vserver, kvm or lguest.
Works With
ASL will also work with the following virtualization technologies, however you can not install the ASL kernel:
Virtuozzo OpenVZ Xen
On these systems you should expect ASL to report various vulnerabilities in the kernel. These are not false positives but are in fact vulnerabilities in those kernels. When using a VPS with these technologies various other behaviors will occur, and they are covered in the article ASL#ASL_inside_a_VPS.
Development Path
OpenVz/Virtuozzo: We are currently exploring the addition of OpenVZ natively to the ASL kernel.
Xen: We are currently exploring support for native Xen support in the ASL kernel, where the ASL kernel will act as the Xen server.
