help Red Hat Virtualization FAQ
What hypervisor does Red Hat Virtualization use?
Red Hat Virtualization is built around the KVM hypervisor and uses the oVirt management architecture. KVM provides the virtualization layer, while the management tools organize hosts, storage, networks, and virtual machines.
Is Red Hat Virtualization the same thing as oVirt?
They are closely related but not identical products. oVirt is the upstream open-source project, while Red Hat Virtualization was Red Hat's supported enterprise distribution and product offering based on that technology.
What replaced Red Hat Virtualization for Red Hat's long-term virtualization direction?
Red Hat points customers toward OpenShift Virtualization as the continuation of its KVM-based virtualization strategy. OpenShift Virtualization runs virtual machines alongside containers on OpenShift.
What operating systems can run as guests in Red Hat Virtualization?
RHV is designed for supported Linux distributions and Microsoft Windows virtual machines, subject to the release's compatibility matrix. The hosts themselves use Red Hat Enterprise Linux based virtualization components.
