Kernel Virtual Machine

Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM) is a technology that allows a single physical computer to run multiple virtual computers, called virtual machines, simultaneously. Think of it as a hyper-efficient way to partition a computer’s resources—like CPU, memory, and storage—so each virtual machine operates independently, as if it were a separate physical machine. KVM is built into Linux, turning it into a type of virtualization platform. It enables organizations to run multiple operating systems, improve resource utilization, and manage servers more flexibly without needing additional hardware.
