Description
The AWS Nitro System serves as the backbone for the newest generation of Amazon EC2 instances, enabling quicker innovation, cost reductions for users, and improved security along with the introduction of new instance types. By rethinking virtualization infrastructure, AWS has transferred essential functions like CPU, storage, and networking virtualization to specialized hardware and software, thus freeing up nearly all server resources for use by instances. This innovative architecture includes several essential components: Nitro Cards, which accelerate and offload I/O tasks for services such as VPC, EBS, and instance storage; the Nitro Security Chip, which minimizes the attack surface and restricts administrative access to prevent human error and tampering; and the Nitro Hypervisor, a streamlined hypervisor that efficiently manages memory and CPU allocation, providing performance that closely resembles that of bare metal systems. Furthermore, the modular nature of the Nitro System facilitates the swift introduction of new EC2 instance types, enhancing the overall agility of AWS services. Overall, this comprehensive approach positions AWS to continue leading in cloud innovation and resource optimization.
Description
KVM, which stands for Kernel-based Virtual Machine, serves as a comprehensive virtualization solution for Linux systems operating on x86 hardware equipped with virtualization capabilities (such as Intel VT or AMD-V). It comprises a loadable kernel module, known as kvm.ko, that underpins the essential virtualization framework, along with a processor-specific module, either kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko. By utilizing KVM, users can operate several virtual machines that run unaltered Linux or Windows operating systems. Each virtual machine is allocated its own set of virtualized hardware components, including a network interface card, storage, graphics adapter, and more. KVM is an open-source project, with its kernel component integrated into the mainline Linux kernel since version 2.6.20, while the userspace aspect has been incorporated into the mainline QEMU project starting from version 1.3. This integration enables widespread deployment and support for various virtualization applications and services.
