I was in Prague last month for the 2017 edition of the KVM Forum. There I gave a talk about some of the work that I’ve been doing this year to improve the qcow2 file format used by QEMU for storing disk images. The focus of my work is to make qcow2 faster and to reduce its memory requirements.

The video of the talk is now available and you can get the slides here.

The KVM Forum was co-located with the Open Source Summit and the Embedded Linux Conference Europe. Igalia was sponsoring both events one more year and I was also there together with some of my colleages. Juanjo Sánchez gave a talk about WPE, the WebKit port for embedded platforms that we released.

The video of his talk is also available.
