Linux in a Nutshell, 6th Edition

QEMU

QEMU is really its own virtualization solution that works in user space. Combining it with KVM speeds it up considerably, providing a robust hypervisor running at the kernel level. QEMU comes with some of its own commands for the installation and launching of virtual systems. Some older tutorials show how to use them. We won’t cover those here; instead use libvirt tools to handle these tasks.
