Built in Support

ASL 2.2 includes built in support for the following Virtualization technologies:

 vserver
 kvm/qemu
 lguest
 VMWare(TM)

ASL has built in virtualization technologies, including:

 vserver
 kvm/qemu
 lguest

This means you can use ASL for your virtualization needs if you prefer to use the above technologies.

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 ASL will act as the Xen server.
