"Joyent Announces SmartOS With KVM: An Open Source, Modern Operating System"

 KVM on SmartOS provides entrepreneurs and enterprises highest performance
 and profit potential through best of breed cloud technologies
 August 15, 2011

  "... today announced that it has ported KVM to its operating system,
   SmartOS. SmartOS turns any server into a highly efficient,
   multi-tenant application hosting platform.  The open source project
   offers innovative tools for application developers looking for
   reliable, resilient storage and efficient virtualization that
   Joyent has tuned and hardened for modern, data-intensive real-time
   (DIRTy) application deployment."

※このプレスリリースでは Illumosについて触れてません。

 system,"

OSes Booted under SmartOS Native KVM…to date
  SmartOS 64-bit, Linux 64-bit, Windows Server 2008 R2, FreeBSD 8.1 32-bit

WTF is SmartOS? (Page 1)
  As an illumos derivative, has several key features:
    ZFS:
    DTrace:
    OS-based virtualization (Zones):
    Network virtualization (Crossbow):

Enhancement: OS Virtualization (Page 22)
  *)illumos has deep support for OS virtualization
  *)While our implementation does not require it, we run KVM guests in
    a local zone, with the QEMU process as the only process
  *)This was originally for reasons of accounting
  *)...but given the recent KVM vulnerabilities, it has become a matter
    of security

Enhancement: Network virtualization (Page 23)
  *)We create a virtual NIC (VNIC) per KVM guest

Enhancement: DTrace, cont. (Page 27)
  *)Orthogonal to this work, we have developed a real-time analytics
    framework that instruments the cloud using DTrace and visualizes
    the result

 これだけ DTraceを前面に出しているのだから、標準と期待しています。

"Son of Solaris raids Linux for KVM hypervisor"
 Joyent erects 'first major hypervisor' in half decade
 15th August 2011, The Register

  "In essence, KVM is running as a process inside the SmartOS containers,
   Hoffman says, allowing the hypervisor to tap the plumbing the company
   has already built into the operating system. "KVM looks like a process
   on SmartOS, so you can take a normal operating system and you can run it
   as a virtual machine and you can take advantage of everything you do
   with command and control around a process.""
 Hoffman, the Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Joyent,

   includes large enterprises in the gaming, media, mobile and
   e-commerce sectors. It sells software, SmartDataCenter, that runs
   entire data centers."
