Virtualization with KVM
KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V).
Exercise
To see if the processor supports hardware virtualization:
If 0 it means that your CPU doesn't support hardware virtualization.
If 1 or more it does - but you still need to make sure that virtualization is enabled in the BIOS.
Verify that the BIOS has virtualization enabled
If it shows
INFO: Your CPU supports KVM extensions
INFO: KVM is disabled by your BIOS
the Intel Virtualization Technology needs to be enabled in the BIOS.
On the other hand, if you see the outbut below, the Intel-VT is enabled.
INFO: Your CPU supports KVM extensions
INFO: /dev/kvm exists
KVM acceleration can be used
