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 or AMD-V.[2] KVM has also been ported to other operating systems such as FreeBSD[3] and illumos[4] in the form of loadable kernel modules.

KVM was originally designed for x86 processors but has since been ported to ESA/390,[5] PowerPC,[6] IA-64, and ARM.[7] The IA-64 port was removed in 2014.[8]

KVM supports hardware-assisted virtualization for a wide variety of guest operating systems including BSD, Solaris, Windows, Haiku, ReactOS, Plan 9, AROS, macOS, and even other Linux systems.[9][10] In addition, Android 2.2, GNU/Hurd[11] (Debian K16), Minix 3.1.2a, Solaris 10 U3 and Darwin 8.0.1, together with other operating systems and some newer versions of these listed, are known to work with certain limitations.[12]

Additionally, KVM provides paravirtualization support for Linux, OpenBSD,[13] FreeBSD,[14] NetBSD,[15] Plan 9[16] and Windows guests using the VirtIO API.[17] This includes a paravirtual Ethernet card, disk I/O controller,[18] balloon driver, and a VGA graphics interface using SPICE or VMware drivers.
