Having a virtualization platform built-in to the Linux kernel will be valuable to many customers looking for virtualization within a Linux based infrastructure; however these customers will lose the flexibility to run a bare-metal hypervisor, configure the hypervisor independent of the host operating system, and provide machine level security as a guest can bring down the operating system on KVM. Xen, on the other hand is a type-1 hypervisor built independent of any operating system and is a complete separate layer from the operating system and hardware and is seen by the community and customers as an Infrastructure Virtualization Platform to build their solutions upon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.xen.org\/index.php\/2010\/05\/07\/xen-%E2%80%93-kvm-linux-%E2%80%93-and-the-community\/\">Xen \u2013 KVM \u2013 Linux \u2013 and the Community \u2013 blog.xen.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KVM is a type-2 hypervisor built into the Linux kernel as a module and will ship with any Linux distribution moving forward as no work is required for the Linux distributions to add KVM.
