KVM is a Linux kernel module that provides virtualisation support usable by user-space management tools (such as QEMU and virt-manager).

KVM is highly used in cloud hosting of virtual machines and other services. It is not as useful for operating system development as it does not provide any emulated hardware (it uses QEMU to emulate hardware).
