Kernel-based Virtual Machine Terminology
Table: KVM terminology used in this document
Term | Definition |
---|---|
KVM | Kernel-based Virtual Machine |
KVMGuest | VCS agent for managing virtual machines in a KVM or RHEV environment. |
VM, KVM guest | Virtual machine, also referred to as a KVM virtualized guest. |
Host | The physical host on which KVM is installed. |
PM | The physical machine running VCS. |
VM-VM | VCS-supported configuration in which a cluster is formed between VM guests running inside of the same or different hosts. |
VM-PM | VCS-supported configuration in which a cluster is formed between VM guests and physical machines. |
PM-PM | VCS-supported configuration in which a cluster is formed between hosts, and which is mainly used to manage VM guests running inside them. |
Bridge | A device bound to a physical network interface on the host which enables any number of VM guests to connect to the local network on the host. It is mapped to a physical NIC which acts as a switch to VM guests. |
VirtIO | VirtIO is an abstraction layer for paravirtualized hypervisors in Kernel-based Virtual Machine (VM) technology. |
