And also we will see how to create and manage KVM guest machines using V irsh command line utility. In this guide, we will look at how to install and configure KVM in Ubuntu 20.04 headless server. See the JeOSVMBuilder tutorial for more information.Using KVM, you can easily setup a virtualization environment in a Linux machine and host a wide range of guest operating systems including Linux, Windows, BSD, Mac OS and many. Python-vm-builder is a tool which allows you to automate the creation of virtual machine.

Ubuntu Server Edition JeOS is a specialized version of Ubuntu to create Virtual Appliances for KVM or VMWare.

Ubuntu can be used as a guest OS in all of the above virtualization environments.

JumpBox uses Ubuntu as the OS in their guest appliances.

KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine) - the officially maintained choice.

There are quite a few virtualization platforms you can use a Ubuntu host with: This mode is called "raw disk" and requires special setup using a small virtual "drive" file (for example in vmdk format) as an interface to the hard disk, and special commands which handle certain aspects of that system's startup.

Another configuration, not recommended for beginners or those with high-value systems (always backup your data), is the running of a guest OS from another hard drive partition. The guest OS then runs from that virtual drive. "Guest" OSes are typically installed to virtual drives large and expanding (typically) files to which a the guest OS is installed in the same way that one would install the same OS to a hard disk. Virtualization simply means the running of another OS within a host OS, through the usage of a special "hypervisor" application which handles everything about how the guest OS operates within (and with) the host system. Ubuntu is a great OS for use in both virtualization hosts and in guest virtual machines and software appliances.
