Supported by whom? Certainly, if you are running a distro that is
vendor-supported or based on one that is (e.g. RHEL or CentOS), then the
vendor is still supporting it. In particular, Xen 3.4.x is still
supported by Red Hat on RHEL 5, and therefore it is also supported in
CentOS 5.  This kind of "support" will typically mean that they backport
security fixes and really serious bug fixes, but they don't add new
features.

So the answer to your question may depend on what distro you are running
Xen under.

Hi Greg,

 

My Dom0 is CentOS 5.5. I just want to ensure that security fixes (I'm happy with the current feature set) will still be released (for both kernel and Xen). How long left do you think it is safe to stick with the current system?

 

Also, I had to get my Xen version from Gitco, as the version that came with CentOS 5.5 was 3.0.x (I think - might be 3.1.x). So I don't think I'm even using Red Hat's backports (I'm using their kernel though)

 

Thanks
