The Definitive Guide to the Xen Hypervisor provides an overview of the functioning of Xen from the perspective of a systems programmer. The book describes paravirtualized guest interfaces in detail, covering the steps involved in making an existing operating system into a fully-aware Xen citizen and writing a new kernel using Xen as an abstraction layer. The book discusses the similarities and differences between Xen and the physical architecture, and the functioning of the Hypervisor itself.
