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.

I thought Microsoft Azure used only Hyper-V, but doc page mentions used of KVM. I am not sure how to interpret this.

  The hypervisors for preparation that are covered in this article are Hyper-V, kernel-based virtual machine (KVM), and VMware.
  KVM
  This section shows you how to use KVM to prepare a RHEL 6 or RHEL 7 distro to upload to Azure.
> Maybe this means that Azure is not using KVM, and only uses Hyper-V, but it can import KVM images?
