Red Hat Virtualization
Virtualization software
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Red Hat Virtualization (RHV), formerly known as Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, is an x86 virtualization product developed by Red Hat,[2] and is based on the KVM hypervisor.[3] Red Hat Virtualization uses the SPICE protocol and VDSM (Virtual Desktop Server Manager) with a RHEL-based centralized management server.[4][5] The platform can access user and group information from either an Active Directory or FreeIPA domain which enables it to allocate resources effectively based on permissions.[6] Built for use in enterprise datacenters, RHV can support up to 400 hosts in a single cluster and no upper limit on the total number of hosts it can support.[7] Development of RHV has ceased and as of August 2020 the product is now only receiving maintenance updates, with extended life phase updates provided until 2026.[8] The successor to RHV is Red Hat's OpenShift container platform.[9]
