Tracking KVM Issues

As KVM gains popularity in the cloud computing world, the ability to quickly locate and resolve performance issues in KVM becomes even more pronounced. In this presentation, I will present the tools, e.g. kvm_stat and kvm-events, that help quickly identify and resolve performance issues. I will also present the work I did to develop the tool. My presentation will be helpful to system administrator looking to tune their environment for optimal performance as well as developers interested in the internal working of this infrastructure.
