<para>Whether OpenStack is deployed within private data centers or as a public cloud service, the underlying virtualization technology provides enterprise-level capabilities in the realms of scalability, resource efficiency, and uptime. While such high-level benefits are generally available across many OpenStack-supported hypervisor technologies, there are significant differences in each hypervisor's security architecture and features, particularly when considering the security threat vectors which are unique to elastic OpenStack environments. As applications consolidate into single Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platforms, instance isolation at the hypervisor level becomes paramount. The requirement for secure isolation holds true across commercial, government, and military communities.</para>

<para>Within the framework of OpenStack you can choose from any number of hypervisor platforms and corresponding OpenStack plugins to optimize your cloud environment. In the context of the OpenStack Security guide, we will be highlighting hypervisor selection considerations as they pertain to feature sets that are critical to security. However, these considerations are not meant to be an exhaustive investigation into the pros and cons of particular hypervisors. NIST provides additional guidance in Special Publication 800-125, "<emphasis>Guide to Security for Full Virtualization Technologies</emphasis>".</para>
