A hypervisor is software that creates and runs virtual machines (VMs), allowing a host computer to support multiple guest VMs by virtually sharing its resources, such as memory and processing. The Linux kernel is the main component of a Linux operating system (OS) that acts as the core interface between a computer’s hardware and its processes. KVM, also known as the KVM hypervisor, is a virtualization module that turns the Linux kernel into a hypervisor. The key differences are in how they work and the types of features and use cases they support.
Both are full virtualization solutions and open source. Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) and Oracle VM VirtualBox are Linux-based virtualization solutions that allow users to run various operating systems without “bare-metal” hardware.
