BASE: KVM for Beginners
Presented By: Ken Johnson
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. KVM requires a processor with hardware virtualization extensions, such as Intel VT or AMD-V. KVM has also been ported to FreeBSD in the form of loadable kernel modules. KVM supports hardware-assisted virtualization for a wide variety of guest operating systems including BSD, Solaris, Windows, Haiku, ReactOS, Plan 9, AROS, macOS, and other Linux systems. (extract from Wikipedia article)
This presentation will help you get started with KVM if you have never used it before or have not used it for a very long time.
