Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) 1.0 simplifies treatment of virtual devices, making them more extensible and more recognizable. The specification ensures that virtual environments and guests have a straightforward, standard mechanism for virtual devices, rather than boutique per-environment or per-OS mechanisms. Congratulations to VIRTIO TC chairs, Michael Tsirkin of Red Hat and Rusty Russell of IBM; to representatives of Foundational Sponsor: IBM; to Sponsors: M2MI, NetApp, Oracle, Red Hat, Thales e-Security; and to all VIRTIO TC members.

A public review period is underway for 11 Committee Specifications developed by the Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) TC in preparation for member ballots to consider them for OASIS Standards. KMIP is a single, comprehensive protocol for communication between clients that request any of a wide range of encryption keys and servers that store and manage those keys. By replacing redundant, incompatible key management protocols, KMIP provides better data security while at the same time reducing expenditures on multiple products. The public reviews end 18 Apr.
