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 ]
Examples of Type-2 hypervisor include VirtualBox and VMware Workstation. The distinction between these two types is not always clear. For instance, KVM and bhyve are kernel modules [9] that effectively convert the host operating system to a type-1 hypervisor. [10]
VirtualBox emulates hard disks in three formats: the native VDI (Virtual Disk Image), [36] VMware's VMDK, and Microsoft's VHD. It thus supports disks created by other hypervisor software. VirtualBox can also connect to iSCSI targets and to raw partitions on the host, using
Full virtualization was not fully available on the x86 platform prior to 2005. Many platform hypervisors for the x86 platform came very close and claimed full virtualization (such as Adeos, Mac-on-Linux, Parallels Desktop for Mac, Parallels Workstation, VMware Workstation, VMware Server (formerly GSX Server), VirtualBox, Win4BSD, and Win4Lin Pro).
KVM [4] [5] since February 2007, [6] with different techniques. [7] Oracle VM Server for x86; Oracle VM Server for SPARC; OVirt; Red Hat Virtualisation; POWER Hypervisor (PHYP) VMware ESXi; IBM Live Partition Mobility, since 2007; Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 [8] VirtualBox [9] Proxmox Virtual Environment [10]
Proxmox VE is an open-source server virtualization platform to manage two virtualization technologies: Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) for virtual machines and LXC for containers - with a single web-based interface. [11]
It supports VirtualBox and most VMware products (e.g. Workstation, Player, Fusion and vSphere/ESX). Also includes open-vmtools (for VMware). VMDK - "VM" in Turnkey Linux download mirrors - As above, but packaged as a zip containing a VMDK vHDD as well as a VMX (legacy VMware vm config file). Runs on KVM/QEMU [4] OpenStack
