Hardware virtualization for cloud computing has come a long way, improving performance using technologies such as VT-x, SR-IOV, VT-d, NVMe, and APICv. At Netflix, we've been using these technologies as they've been made available for instance types in the AWS EC2 cloud. AWS called this [enhanced networking]. Impressive!

Search for recent blog posts on Linux containers, and try them out, and you'll piece together their capabilities and workings bit by bit. Xen's biggest user is the Amazon EC2 cloud, which has over one million customers, and appears to be a custom version (it self identifies as version "3.4.3.amazon"). Oracle VM Server is based on Xen.
