technology and libvirt
as its toolkit/API. Libvirt frontends for managing VMs include virt-manager
(GUI) or virsh (CLI).

Notes
-
The previous version of this page (which
was documenting KVM for Feisty) has been moved to KVMFeisty
-
Also checkout the official docs, http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/virtualization.html
-
The use case targeted when KVM was moved into
main is "Single host server virtualization".
This means that even though KVM can be used to serve other purposes, it
has been designed to be run on Ubuntu Server Edition to host server
operating systems. If you are looking for a desktop virtualization
tool, VirtualBox,
Parallel workstation or VMware Player/Server can be more suitable
alternatives.
