“KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization
solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization
extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). It consists of a loadable kernel
module, kvm.ko, that provides the core virtualization
infrastructure and a processor specific module, kvm-intel.ko or
kvm-amd.ko…“”Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual machines running
unmodified Linux or Windows images. Each virtual machine has
private virtualized hardware: a network card, disk, graphics
adapter, etc.”
