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
KVM requires a processor with hardware virtualization extensions, such as Intel VT or AMD-V. [2] KVM has also been ported to other operating systems such as FreeBSD [3] and illumos [4] in the form of loadable kernel modules. KVM was originally designed for x86 processors but has since been ported to ESA/390, [5] PowerPC, [6] IA-64, and ARM.
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.
This is a list of real-time operating systems (RTOSs). This is an operating system in which the time taken to process an input stimulus is less than the time lapsed until the next input stimulus of the same type.
libguestfs is a C library and a set of tools for accessing and modifying virtual disk images used in platform virtualization.The tools can be used for viewing and editing virtual machines (VMs) managed by libvirt and files inside VMs, scripting changes to VMs, creating VMs, and much else besides.

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.
These included the test software SIMMON and the CP/CMS operating system, the predecessor of IBM's VM family of virtual machine operating systems. Examples of Type-1 hypervisor include Hyper-V, Xen and VMware ESXi. Type-2 or hosted hypervisors These hypervisors run on a conventional operating system (OS) just as other computer programs do.
Software executed on these virtual machines is separated from the underlying hardware resources. For example, a computer that is running Arch Linux may host a virtual machine that looks like a computer with the Microsoft Windows operating system; Windows-based software can be run on the virtual machine.
