Status

KVM is included in the mainline linux kernel since 2.6.20 and is stable and fast for most workloads.

It is also available as a patch for recent Linux kernel versions and as an external module that can be used with your favorite distro- provided kernel going back up to 2.6.16, therefore including all latest versions for Enterprise Linux Distributions.

Working:

  • Intel-based hosts (requires VT capable processors)
  • AMD-based hosts (requires SVM capable processors)
  • Windows/Linux/Unix guests (32-bit and 64-bit)
  • SMP hosts
  • SMP guests (as of kvm-61, max 16 cpu supported)
  • Live Migration of guests from one host to another (32-bit and 64-bit)
  • See the Guest Support Status page for a list of guest operating systems known to work
  • See the Host Support Status page for information on host hardware.
  • Guest swapping
