KVM - Open-Source virtualisation solution
Rating: 9 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We use virtualisation to segregate workloads and to reduce blast radius of certain classes of problems. Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is an open-source, flexible, and performant solution to our needs. It runs natively via virt-manager on SUSE-based products, which we use prefer for production usage.
Pros
- high-performance virtualisation
Cons
- no major problems with kvm
Likelihood to Recommend
Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is available for Linux systems, and most of the time supported by the operating system vendor. I would recommend using Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM)whenever attempting to virtualise workloads on Linux.
