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 ]
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
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.
[citation needed] QEMU can also use KVM on other architectures like ARM and MIPS. [14] Intel's Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM) is an open-source alternative [15] to KVM for x86-based hardware-assisted virtualization on NetBSD, Linux, Windows and macOS using Intel VT.
Oracle VM Server for x86 is a server virtualization offering from Oracle Corporation.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.
Binary translation automatically modifies the software on-the-fly to replace instructions that "pierce the virtual machine" with a different, virtual machine safe sequence of instructions. [7] Hardware-assisted virtualization allows guest operating systems to be run in isolation with virtually no modification to the (guest) operating system.
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.
Kubuntu (/ k ʊ ˈ b ʊ n t uː / kuu-BUUN-too) [3] is an official flavor of the Ubuntu operating system that uses the KDE Plasma Desktop instead of the GNOME desktop environment. As part of the Ubuntu project, Kubuntu uses the same underlying systems. Kubuntu shares the same repositories as Ubuntu [4] and is released regularly on the same ...
