KERNEL VIRTUAL MACHINE

KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for
Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V).
It consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, that provides the core
virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module, kvm-intel.ko or
kvm-amd.ko.

Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual machines running unmodified Linux or
Windows images. Each virtual machine has private virtualized hardware: a network
card, disk, graphics adapter, etc.

KVM is open source software. The kernel component of KVM is included in mainline
Linux, as of 2.6.20. The userspace component of KVM is included in mainline
QEMU, as of 1.3.

Blogs from people active in KVM-related virtualization development are
syndicated at http://planet.virt-tools.org/
