About
- KVM is the hypervisor of choice for OpenStack deployments, because of its tight integration into the Linux kernel and strong support from Operating System vendors like Red Hat, SUSE and Canonical. KVM is used in 62% of OpenStack deployments, according to surveys conducted by the OpenStack Foundation in 2013 more

- OpenStack Compute (Nova) runs on a variety of hypervisors, including those from VMware, Citrix, and Microsoft, to name a few. To date, however, OpenStack’s strength-in-numbers lies in KVM. Various surveys (such as this one in OpenStack Superuser) show that the majority of OpenStack deployments, at nearly 90%, are based on KVM. Why is that? KVM turns the Linux kernel into a hypervisor, and comes standard with many Linux distributions. OpenStack is also a Linux distribution, so the marriage of OpenStack with KVM makes sense. Use your open source software to manage your open source hypervisor! Consequently, the OpenStack community embraced KVM and turned it into the most highly tested and feature rich hypervisor to use in an OpenStack cloud.
