Kernel space: KVM virtualization layer progress
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux virtualization frenzy has a new challenger: the
| simplified virtualization technology, KVM, has made it
| into the standard kernel.

| [...]
|
| Perhaps the most interesting outcome of all this, however, is how KVM is
| gaining momentum as the virtualization approach of choice - at least for
| contemporary and future hardware.

Virtualization begins to materialize in the Linux kernel
,----[ Quote ]
| Virtualization, the ability to run multiple "virtual" systems on a
| single host, is nearly as old as solid state computing. But it's been
| all the rage again in recent years, with more than a dozen large-scale
| Linux virtualization projects -- and while they require special
| custom kernels, patches, and software, the first steps toward
| OS-level virtualization have been implemented in the Linux kernel.

Linux KVM Virtualization Performance
,----[ Quote ]
| The benefits of KVM are high performance, stable, no modifications
| of the guest operating system are necessary, and a great deal of
| other capabilities (e.g. using the Linux scheduler). Once the Linux
| 2.6.20 kernel is officially out the door we will proceed with a
| greater number of KVM benchmarks in various environments including
| looking at the hardware virtualization performance between AMD and
| Intel.
