Product Information
What is Kvm (kernel-based virtual machine)?
KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a complete virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware that incorporates virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). It consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, which provides the core virtualization infrastructure, and a processor-specific module, kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko. KVM also requires a modified version of QEMU, although efforts are underway to integrate the necessary changes upstream.
With KVM, you can run multiple virtual machines executing unmodified Linux or Windows images. Each virtual machine has its own private virtualized hardware: network cards, disks, graphics adapters, and more.
The kernel component of KVM has been included in the mainline Linux kernel since version 2.6.20.
KVM is open-source software.
How to use Kvm (kernel-based virtual machine)?
KVM is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware, enabling users to run multiple virtual machines on a Linux system, each with its own set of virtualized hardware.
