Like Hyper-V, admins can manage KVM entirely from the command line. VMM is generally the preferred management tool for Hyper-V because it provides scalability and a consolidated view for VM infrastructure - but it requires a separate license. Microsoft also offers an enterprise-grade management tool for Hyper-V called System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). Just as KVM and Hyper-V run on different OSes, they also require different management tools.Īdmins can manage Hyper-V with the Windows PowerShell command line, but most use a GUI-based tool such as Hyper-V Manager or Windows Admin Center. Though KVM runs on Linux, it can run Windows VMs and Microsoft Hyper-V can host Linux VMs. The underlying OS does not limit KVM and Hyper-V guest operating support. KVM can work on any recent Linux kernel with an x86 machine and an Intel processor with active Virtualization Technology, or AMD processors with the Secure Virtual Machine capability. It also offers a free, standalone version of Hyper-V called Hyper-V Server.
Microsoft includes Hyper-V with Windows Server, Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise. KVM is that Hyper-V is from Microsoft and runs on Windows, while KVM is an open source hypervisor built into Linux.
When organizations choose between the two, admins should select the hypervisor that best aligns with their existing infrastructure. This makes it important for virtualization admins to understand how these hypervisors compare to one another.
