Many people/organizations appreciate simplicity when hosting virtual servers in the cloud. However, when those servers go down, or become inaccessible the simple explanation is not enough. If you are deploying virtual servers or just thinking about it you may want spend some additional time looking at ways you can make your service more reliable. Fortunately, the Open Source community has made it very easy and cost effective to enhance your virtual service with a high degree of reliability and availability. In this talk I will demonstrate how to build a highly available infrastructure for hosting virtual machines using XEN and explore a number of Open Source tools designed for this purpose.
