Preface

Oracle Linux: KVM User's Guide provides information about how to install, configure, and use the Oracle Linux KVM packages to run guest system on top of a bare metal Oracle Linux system. This documentation provides information on using KVM on a standalone platform in an unmanaged environment. Typical usage in this mode is for development and testing purposes, although production level deployments are supported. Oracle recommends that customers use Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager for more complex deployments of a managed KVM infrastructure.
