What is Linux KVM?

KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). It allows you to run multiple operating systems on the same hardware, turning your Linux kernel into a hypervisor. KVM is commonly used for server virtualization, desktop virtualization, and cloud computing, enabling efficient resource utilization and isolation of workloads.
