With KVM being the go-to choice for most due to its hardware virtualization support and flexibility, I’m curious:

What are the actual advantages of XEN in today's hosting landscape?

Is there still a valid reason to use XEN over KVM for certain workloads or security models?

Or is it just legacy support and cost-saving?

Looking forward to hearing thoughts from sysadmins, hosting providers, and infrastructure engineers!
