Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a free and open-source virtualization module in the Linux kernel that allows the kernel to function as a hypervisor. It was merged into the mainline Linux kernel in version 2.6.20, which was released on February 5, 2007. [1] KVM requires a processor with hardware virtualization extensions, such as Intel VT ...
libvirt is an open-source API, daemon and management tool for managing platform virtualization. [3] It can be used to manage KVM , Xen , VMware ESXi , QEMU and other virtualization technologies. These APIs are widely used in the orchestration layer of hypervisors in the development of a cloud-based solution.
Virt-manager allows users to: create, edit, start and stop VMs; view and control each VM's console; see performance and utilization statistics for each VM
Installable Live CD/USB: a hybrid ISO image which can be burned to either CD or USB [7] and used to install on both bare metal (I.e. a non-virtualized physical machine) and virtual machines, including VMware, Xen, XenServer, VirtualBox, and KVM. This image can also run live in non-persistent demo mode.
The Quick Emulator (QEMU) [3] is a free and open-source emulator that uses dynamic binary translation to emulate a computer's processor; that is, it translates the emulated binary codes to an equivalent binary format which is executed by the machine.
oVirt is a free, open-source virtualization management platform. It was founded by Red Hat as a community project on which Red Hat Virtualization is based. It allows centralized management of virtual machines, compute, storage and networking resources, from an easy-to-use web-based front-end with platform independent access.
Oracle VM Server for x86 incorporates the free and open-source Xen hypervisor technology, supports Windows, Linux, and Solaris [3] guests and includes an integrated Web based management console. Oracle VM Server for x86 features fully tested and certified Oracle Applications stack in an enterprise virtualization environment.
KVM switch (keyboard, video, and mouse switch), originally a hardware device for controlling multiple computers, now also used to refer to software tools used to achieve similar functionality (for example Synergy and various more fully open-source equivalents)
