Paravirtualization

In hardware-assisted full virtualization, guest operating systems issue calls directly to the hardware. In paravirtualization, guest operating systems communicate with the hypervisor (KVM/QEMU) with an API (Virtio).

This API defines paravirtual devices including Ethernet cards, disk I/O subsytems, and VGA interfaces with SPICE

drivers.
