QEMU integrates several services to allow the host and guest systems to communicate for example: an integrated SMB server and network-port redirection (to allow incoming connections to the virtual machine). It can also boot Linux kernels without a bootloader. QEMU does not depend on the presence of graphical output methods on the host system.
qcow is a file format for disk image files used by QEMU, a hosted virtual machine monitor. [1] It stands for "QEMU Copy On Write" and uses a disk storage optimization strategy that delays allocation of storage until it is actually needed.
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]
Full system simulation with optional component virtualization Software development (early, embedded), advanced debug for single and multicore software, compiler and other tool development, computer architecture research, hobbyist Depends on target architecture (full and slow hardware emulation for guests incompatible with host) [citation needed]
Full virtualization – Almost complete virtualization of the actual hardware to allow software environments, including a guest operating system and its apps, to run unmodified. Paravirtualization – The guest apps are executed in their own isolated domains, as if they are running on a separate system, but a hardware environment is not simulated.
Simics is built for high performance execution of full-system models, and uses both binary translation and hardware-assisted virtualization to increase simulation speed. It is natively multithreaded and can simulate multiple target (or guest) processors and boards using multiple host threads.
VMware Tools, a package with drivers and other software available for the various guest operating systems VMware products support, installs in guest operating systems to add functionality. Tools is updated from time to time, with v12.1.5 in 29 November 2022. [125] It has several components, including the following: Drivers for emulated hardware:
Optimized for macOS 11 Big Sur as host and guest (macOS 10.15 Catalina is also supported as host). New guest operating system support, such as Windows 10 20H2, Ubuntu 20.10, RHEL 8.3, and Fedora 33. Fusion health check. Includes docker-machine-driver-vmware. Performance improvements, bug fixes and security updates. [89] 12.1.1 April 1, 2021
