Intel's Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM) is an open-source alternative [16] to KVM for x86-based hardware-assisted virtualization on NetBSD, Linux, Windows and macOS using Intel VT. As of 2013 [update] Intel mostly solicits its use with QEMU for Android development. [ 17 ]
libvirt is an open-source API, daemon and management tool for managing platform virtualization. [3] It can be used to manage KVM , Xen , VMware ESXi , QEMU and other virtualization technologies. These APIs are widely used in the orchestration layer of hypervisors in the development of a cloud-based solution.
Q is a free emulator software that runs on Mac OS X, including OS X on PowerPC.Q is Mike Kronenberg's port of the open source and generic processor emulator QEMU.Q uses Cocoa and other Apple technologies, such as Core Image and Core Audio, to achieve its emulation.
Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a free and open-source virtualization module in the Linux kernel that allows the kernel to function as a hypervisor. It was merged into the mainline Linux kernel in version 2.6.20, which was released on February 5, 2007. [1] KVM requires a processor with hardware virtualization extensions, such as Intel VT ...
^ OS-level virtualization is described as "native" speed, however some groups have found overhead as high as 3% for some operations, but generally figures come under 1%, so long as secondary effects do not appear. ^ See [20] for a paper comparing performance of paravirtualization approaches (e.g. Xen) with OS-level virtualization
GNOME Boxes was initially introduced as beta software in GNOME 3.3 (development branch for 3.4) as of Dec 2011, [5] and as a preview release in GNOME 3.4. [6] Its primary functions were as a virtual machine manager, remote desktop client (over VNC), and remote filesystem browser, utilizing the libvirt, libvirt-glib, and libosinfo technologies. [7]
Bochs emulates the hardware needed by PC operating systems, including hard drives, CD drives, and floppy drives. It doesn't utilize any host CPU virtualization features, therefore is slower than most virtualization (as opposed to emulation) software. It provides additional security by completely isolating the guest OS from the hardware.
Kimchi is a web management tool to manage Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) infrastructure. Developed with HTML5, Kimchi is developed to intuitively manage KVM guests, create storage pools, manage network interfaces (bridges, VLANs, NAT), and perform other related tasks.
