    KVM – As part of the Linux kernel, it is open-source virtualization technology. Turns the Linux kernel into a hypervisor. It provides excellent application performance and a solid foundation for cloud-native and container-native workloads. But like other hypervisors, KVM virtual machines are also prone to multiple failures, hence the need for backups.
