The Open Source Xen-Blanket software was developed by researchers at IBM and Cornell University, as extensions to the Xen hypervisor and its PV drivers, to enable seamless use of Xen PV drivers in guest VMs of nested Xen deployments. It was presented at the EuroSys 2012 conference, with a paper that has been widely cited since, and deployed in Cornell's SuperCloud.

Xen-Blanket has never been presented to the Xen Community and the software left unmaintained. However, recent work by Star Lab has modernized its implementation, aiming to encourage its adoption and incorporation into the Xen Project software.

This session will introduce the Xen-Blanket, describing its motivation and features; present the structure of the implementation in the hypervisor and device drivers; outline an example architecture for its deployment; and summarize its current state and plans within the Xen Project.
