<p>3martini: Removed spam.</p> <hr /> <div>== Kernel Based Virtual Machine ==<br /> <br /> 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. KVM also requires a modified QEMU although work is underway to get the required changes upstream. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> The kernel component of KVM is included in mainline Linux, as of 2.6.20.<br /> <br /> KVM is open source software.<br /> <br /> == Common Pages ==<br /> {| style=&quot;border:none&quot;<br /> |style=&quot;width:50%;border:none;&quot;|<br /> * [[KVM Forum]]<br /> ** [[KVM Forum 2011]]<br /> ** [[KVM Forum 2010]]<br /> * [[LinuxPlumbers2010|Linux Plumbers Conference 2010]]<br /> * [[TODO]]<br /> * [[KVM-Autotest]]<br /> * [[KVM Features]]<br /> |style=&quot;width:50%;border:none;&quot;|<br /> * [[Management Tools]]<br /> * [[Documents]]<br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Common External Pages ==<br /> <br /> {|style=&quot;border:none&quot;<br /> |style=&quot;width:50%;border:none;&quot;|<br /> * [http://www.qemu.org/ QEMU]<br /> * [http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/HVM_Compatible_Processors Xen's HVM Compatible Processors List]<br /> |style=&quot;width:50%;border:none;&quot;|<br /> * [http://qemu-buch.de Book &quot;qemu-kvm &amp; libvirt&quot;]<br /> * [http://qemu-buch.de/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/ QEMU Wiki]<br /> |}</div>
