We reviewed the recent NPM supply chain attack: Xen Orchestra production users (XOA or from source) are not affected: only dev environments could be at risk if yarn.lock was ignored. More details at:

Just after XCP-ng 8.3 became LTS, we kicked off the journey to 9.0. Things are getting real: we're moving from early exploration to a first concrete target. XO 6.0 as the default UI + XCP-ng 9.0 pre-pre-pre-alpha in 2025? Maybe 👀 Stay tuned!

The right time for Europe
In a world where resilience depends on more than supply chains, Europe must decide where it wants control—and where it’s willing to depend on others.

I thought it was time to share some perspective on what it takes to build a full virtualization stack. We’ve learned a lot over the years, often the hard way. Using a platform is one thing. Building and maintaining it is something else entirely.

Few build Hypervisors. We’re one of them.
Everyone uses virtualization. Few truly understand what they’re building on. That’s why calling hypervisors a commodity is a dangerous illusion.
