Erlang on Xen: a quest for lower instance startup latency

The new Erlang emulator is being developed that is capable of running directly on Xen hypervisor without an operating system. The design goal of the new emulator is to minimize the startup latency of new Xen instances running Erlang applications. The long-term vision is a super-elastic fabric for Erlang applications that allow real-time provisioning of computing resources.

Talk objectives: to share with the audience the ideas underlying the new implementation of Erlang VM.

Target audience: Erlang VM implementors and Erlang developers in general.

ErlangPro: when packaging is the game-changer

ErlangPro is a way to facilitate the Erlang development and to extend the capabilities of applications written in Erlang and operated in various target distributed environments. Being the new form of packaging and deployment of Erlang-based software products, it is at the same time a new deployment and maintenance strategy for distributed solutions, which enables single-image solution delivery and single console monitoring, management and control for virtually any-size installations. ErlangPro's development environment creates an isolation layer between application and operating system, provides easy access to high variety of development tools, automates packaging custom software components with Erlang/OTP and the process of generating of the virtual appliances.
