In cloud computing, the operating systems serving cloud users are not running directly on computer hardware. Instead, hypervisors are configured to run many operating systems as what are referred to as VMs. Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is the basic virtualization technology implemented in most Linux distributions to make a Linux system into a hypervisor. KVM is supported on Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, CentOS, and many other Linux systems. The chapter describes how to check to see if a computer has the required hardware features to be used as a hypervisor and how to configure it to be used with KVM.Read More
