KVM (Kernel Virtualization Module) is an open source, popular and efficient virtualization technology provided by Linux kernel. Virtualization creates virtual ram, devices, disks, CPU’s, networks etc. Qemu is the user space tool used to provide these to the kernel level virtualization tool KVM. Disk is one of the most important...
guestmount is a tool used to mount VM images. This VM images can be different formats like qcow, vmdk, vdi etc. In this tutorial we will examine different use cases about guestmount. Mount Disk Image We will start by mounting given image partition to the specified directory. We will provide...
Qemu is very old virtualization technology used to virtualize system components and run operating systems on it. Before KVM and XEN QEMU was used heavily but it can not race with VMWARE or VIRTUAL PC. But with the KVM qemu get superfast speed for computing by using hardware based virtualization....
KVM is a hyper visor used by a lot of Linux distributions. I am currently using it and very happy with it. I have most of the abilities paid hypervisors like HyperV, Vmware provides. Snapshots is picture of the VM in specified time. For example we will install new application...
