KVM Virtualisation

Like most people I've been using virtualisation for a few years, through VMWare and VirtualBox. VirtualBox was the simplest solution for quick VM setup.

I'd never looked at any of the options like Xen as it always looked too complex.

But now RedHat 6 seems to be shipping with KVM, and so far quite impressed with it. A kernel module option and some client tools to make VM machine creation easy.

Setting up bridged networking did need a little setup - the link below gives the details:
