Performance Analysis of Kernel-Based Virtual Machine

Rapid advancement in computing technology has put forth Cloud computing as a paramount paradigm indistributed systems. It is very much essential and important too to fully understand the underlyingtechnologies that makes clouds possible. One key technology that make makes the cloud popular isvirtualization. Even though virtualization technology isnot new, the concept of hypervisors withvirtualization is getting popular and also well understood by many. There are a good number ofhypervisors. This paper discusses the types of Virtualization Technologies, hypervisors and configurationof the VMs and analyse the performance of Virtual Machines using Kernel Based Virtual Machine-KVM,a Type2 hypervisor.
