Used to use Qubes OS, quit because I could not figure out how to move files / share files between VMs securely / easily.

Want to try again, but a little concerned that AWS seems to have moved away from Xen.

One of the points that look like a plus to me, was that Qubes OS was based on a widely used, battle tested hypervisor, Xen.

The biggest cloud platforms looks like AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure. I should check if what hypervisors they are using.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) looks like it does not use Xen, and only KVM. I could be wrong.

I cloud only find pages with mention of KVM, and no Xen.

  Compute Engine VMs run on a physical host that has Google's security-hardened, KVM-based hypervisor.
