With this update of Collax V-Cube the version 0.12.4 of the Kernel-based Virtual machine (KVM) is going to be installed. Amongst others this version improves memory processing of virtual machines. Up to now the memory consumption of a VM could exceed the amount assigned by the Collax V-Cube. This behaviour is going to be prevented with this update of KVM.
