VMWare VMI Enters Kernel
Posted by Michael Larabel on March 28, 2007
In the 2.6.20 kernel we were presented with KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) virtualization, and now in the Linux 2.6.21 kernel will mark the introduction of VMWare's VMI into the Linux upstream kernel. VMWare's kernel component will allow for para-virtualized operating systems to run within virtual machines. VMI is short for the Virtual Machine Interface, which was introduced in July of 2005. More information on the VMI Linux 2.6.21 introduction can be found at TechWorld.
