Virtualization is a hot topic in the operating systems world these days. The use cases vary from server consolidation, virtual test environments to Linux enthusiasms who can’t decide which distribution is best. The Kernel-based Virtual Machine, kvm (http://www.linux-kvm.org) is a popular full-virtualization solution for Linux based systems. It can be used to run guests systems on systems with hardware virtualization extensions (AMD-V or Intel VT-x). The goal of this project was creating a minimal solution that would allow a user to run virtual machines (VM) over yocto.
