[$] Using the KVM API Many developers, users, and entire industries rely on virtualization, as
provided by software like Xen,
QEMU/KVM, or
kvmtool.
While QEMU can run a software-based virtual machine, and Xen can run
cooperating paravirtualized OSes without hardware support, most current uses
and deployments of virtualization rely on hardware-accelerated virtualization,
as provided on many modern hardware platforms. Linux supports hardware
virtualization via the Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM) API. In this article,
we'll take a closer look at the KVM API, using it to directly set up a virtual
machine without using any existing virtual machine implementation.
