Hardware-Assisted Full Virtualization
KVM features hardware-assisted full virtualization when the underlying x86 processor hardware supports Intel VT-x or AMD-V virtualization extensions. This allows a guest operating system (SonicOS) to setup a virtual context and execute instructions directly on the processor’s hardware.
