How’s KVM going?
KVM became the default hypervisor for new Linode customers six months ago, and it’s been going great. Since KVM’s introduction last summer, customers have created over 500,000 KVM Linodes with over 3 million launches. It’s been very stable, it’s been very fast. Our service has improved reliability and uptime because it’s running a simpler stack. Overall the transition to KVM has been a huge success.

KVM will be the only option for new Linodes, starting May 1, 2016
If you are an older customer, new Linodes you create may still be getting placed onto a Xen hypervisor. You can change this default on your Account Settingspage in the Linode Manager. However, coming May 1, 2016, the only option will be KVM. In other words, starting on May 1, it will not be possible to create a Xen-based Linode.

Very glad Linode started offering KVM. This is a good step for them and should be good for their customers as well.
