Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a virtualization module in the Linux kernel that allows the kernel to function as a hypervisor. It was merged into the Linux kernel mainline in kernel version 2.6.20, which was released on February 5, 2007.[1] KVM requires a processor with hardware virtualization extensions, such as Intel VT or AMD-V.[2] KVM has also been ported to other operating systems such as FreeBSD[3] and illumos[4] in the form of loadable kernel modules.

ATEN’s 4th generation of KVM over IP switches exceed expectations. The KN4164V features superior video quality (Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1200), FIPS 140-2 with level 1 security standards and virtual media transmissions at twice the speed.

KVM was originally designed for x86 processors and has since been ported to S/390,[5]PowerPC,[6]IA-64, and ARM.[7]

KVM provides hardware-assisted virtualization for a wide variety of guest operating systems including Linux, BSD, Solaris, Windows, Haiku, ReactOS, Plan 9, AROS Research Operating System[8] and macOS.[9] In addition, Android 2.2, GNU/Hurd[10] (Debian K16), Minix 3.1.2a, Solaris 10 U3 and Darwin 8.0.1, together with other operating systems and some newer versions of these listed, are known to work with certain limitations.[11]

Additionally, KVM provides paravirtualization support for Linux, OpenBSD,[12] FreeBSD,[13] NetBSD,[14] Plan 9[15] and Windows guests using the VirtIO[16] API. This includes a paravirtual Ethernet card, disk I/O controller,[17] balloon device, and a VGA graphics interface using SPICE or VMware drivers.

History[edit]

Avi Kivity began the development of KVM at Qumranet, a technology startup company[18] that was acquired by Red Hat in 2008.[19]

KVM surfaced in October, 2006[20] and was merged into the Linux kernel mainline in kernel version 2.6.20, which was released on 5 February 2007.[1]

KVM is maintained by Paolo Bonzini.[21]

Internals[edit]

A high-level overview of the KVM/QEMU virtualization environment[22]:3

KVM provides device abstraction but no processor emulation. it exposes the /dev/kvm interface, which a user mode host can then use to:

  • Set up the guest VM's address space. The host must also supply a firmware image (usually a custom BIOS when emulating PCs) that the guest can use to bootstrap into its main OS.
  • Feed the guest simulated I/O.
  • Map the guest's video display back onto the system host.

On Linux, QEMU versions 0.10.1 and later is one such userspace host. QEMU uses KVM when available to virtualize guests at near-native speeds, but otherwise falls back to software-only emulation.

Mac

Internally, KVM uses SeaBIOS as an open source implementation of a 16-bit x86 BIOS.[23]


Features[edit]

KVM support hot plug vCPUs[24], dynamic memory management[25] and Live Migration since February 2007[26][27] among other features.

Graphical management tools[edit]

libvirt supports KVM
  • Kimchi – web-based virtualization management tool for KVM
  • Virtual Machine Manager – supports creating, editing, starting, and stopping KVM-based virtual machines, as well as live or cold drag-and-drop migration of VMs between hosts.
  • Proxmox Virtual Environment – an open-source virtualization management package including KVM and LXC. It has a bare-metal installer, a web-based remote management GUI, a HA cluster stack, unified storage, flexible network, and optional commercial support.
  • OpenQRM – management platform for managing heterogeneous data center infrastructures.
  • GNOME Boxes – Gnome interface for managing libvirt guests on Linux.
  • oVirt – open-source virtualization management tool for KVM built on top of libvirt
