KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine)

Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a technology that allows a computer to run multiple virtual machines, each acting like a separate computer, using the same physical hardware. It is built into the Linux operating system, transforming it into a hypervisor. KVM enables efficient resource management, allowing users to run different operating systems and applications side by side. This is particularly useful for businesses and developers for testing, server consolidation, or running applications that require different environments without needing additional physical machines. KVM helps maximize hardware use while providing flexibility and isolation between virtual environments.
