KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is an open-source virtualization technology that transforms Linux into a high-performance hypervisor. It enables users to create and manage multiple virtual machines (VMs) with full hardware acceleration. KVM is widely used by businesses, cloud providers, and IT administrators for efficient and secure virtualization.

Features of KVM:

Full hardware-assisted virtualization for high performance.
Supports multiple guest operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and BSD.
Enterprise-grade security with SELinux and sVirt for VM isolation.
Scalable and flexible, suitable for cloud and on-premises environments.
Integrated with cloud orchestration tools like OpenStack and Kubernetes.
Advanced networking features, including SDN and VLAN support.
Supports live migration of virtual machines for minimal downtime.
Open-source, cost-effective alternative to proprietary hypervisors.

To check installed KVM components, run:

qemu-system-x86_64 --version
