The Hypervisor is the one which provides the complete virtualization environment which will intend to virtualize as much as hardware and systems which will include the CPUs, Memory, network interfaces and so on. Because of the virtualization technologies such as the KVM and others such as ESXi, there has been a significant decrease in the usage if the resources and decrease in the costs involved.

Apps Kernel Server 6 Why Use Linux Containers? • Lightweight virtualization solution ‒ Isolated from the other processes ‒ 1 kernel to rule them all ‒ Normal I/O ‒ Dynamic changes possible without reboot ‒ Nested virtualization is not a problem ‒ No boot time or very short one • Isolate services (e.g. web server, ftp, ...) • Provide root read-only access ‒ Mount host / as read-only ‒ Add only needed resources read-write 7 Linux Containers Use Cases • Deploy everywhere quickly ‒ Deploy application and their dependencies together. • Enterprise Data Center ‒ Limit applications which have a tendency to grab all resources on a system: ‒ Memory (databases) ‒ CPU cycles/scheduling (compute intensive applications) • Outsourcing business ‒ Guarantee a specific amount of resources (SLAs!) to a set of applications for a specific customer without more heavy virtualization technologies 8 Linux

  • Xen to KVM Migration Guide
    SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP4 Xen to KVM Migration Guide SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP4 As the KVM virtualization solution is becoming more and more popular among server administrators, many of them need a path to migrate their existing Xen based environments to KVM. As of now, there are no mature tools to automatically convert Xen VMs to KVM. There is, however, a technical solution that helps convert Xen virtual machines to KVM. The following information and procedures help you to perform such a migration. Publication Date: September 24, 2021 Contents 1 Migration to KVM Using virt-v2v 2 2 Xen to KVM Manual Migration 9 3 For More Information 18 4 Documentation Updates 18 5 Legal Notice 18 6 GNU Free Documentation License 18 1 SLES 12 SP4 Important: Migration Procedure Not Supported The migration procedure described in this document is not fully supported by SUSE. We provide it as a guidance only. 1 Migration to KVM Using virt-v2v This section contains information to help you import virtual machines from foreign hypervisors (such as Xen) to KVM managed by libvirt . Tip: Microsoft Windows Guests This section is focused on converting Linux guests. Converting Microsoft Windows guests using virt-v2v is the same as converting Linux guests, except in regards to handling the Virtual Machine Driver Pack (VMDP). Additional details on converting Windows guests with the VMDP can be found in the separate Virtual Machine Driver Pack documentation at https://www.suse.com/documentation/sle-vmdp-22/ . 1.1 Introduction to virt-v2v virt-v2v is a command line tool to convert VM Guests from a foreign hypervisor to run on KVM managed by libvirt .
