What hypervisor do you use? Print

  • 27

MTH use a KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) full virtualisation solution. Using the KVM hypervisor, each virtual machine has private virtualised hardware: a network card, disk, graphics adapter, etc. The kernel component of KVM hypervisor is included in mainline Linux. Since the hypervisor directly interacts with the hardware,it can be considered as a Level-1 hypervisor.

In addition to this, it means that we can't oversell resources on the server node; the RAM and HDD resources allocated to yourself can't be touched, viewed, etc by any other virtual machine on the node. Saying this, if there is any spare RAM on the server node you're on, you're able to burst into this when required.
