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
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.

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.
The database and FUSE-based Proxmox Cluster file system (pmxcfs [31]) makes it possible to perform the configuration of each cluster node via the Corosync communication stack with SQLite engine. [13] Another HA-related element in PVE is the distributed file system Ceph, which can be used as a shared storage for guest machines. [32]
Table Explanation. Software: The name of the application that is described; SMP aware: . basic: hard split into multiple virtual host; basic+: hard split into multiple virtual host with some minimal/incomplete communication between virtual host on the same computer
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.
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.
