Abstract
Virtualization@IBM: KVM: The logical choice for Linux
Body
For an interesting cross-post from IBM DeveloperWorks, check out a recent post over in the Virtualization@IBM blog where Jean Staten Healy and others talk about KVM and Linux.
Many people many not realize how well security, simplicity, and common usage is baked into both Linux and KVM. KVM is both stable implementation and a technology in progress in the community. As the blog article points out:
The open source hypervisor KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is gaining ground in the enterprise. KVM adoption echoes the early days of Linux since organizations, by now familiar with server virtualization, are evaluating not only hypervisors from the current market leaders but also open source approaches. According to data from IDC, KVM is growing at 150% year over year in terms of unit shipments, with over 100,000 servers already using it worldwide for virtualization.
