Generic Virtualization Concepts
Virtualization Solutions from RedHat
RedHat Enterprise Linux as Virtualization Platform
RHEL 7 includes a hypervisor and a number of virtualization tools, which allows running guest operating systems. However, the solution supports a limited number of guests per host and a limited range of guest types.
RedHat Virtualization
RedHat Virtualization is an enterprise virtualization solution based on the KVM technology.
KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine)
libvirt
Storage and Virtualization
Networking and Virtualization
Steal Time
"Steal time" is the percentage of time a virtual CPU waits for real CPU while the hypervisor is servicing another virtual processor.
A high value means the physical CPU is overcommitted and more physical CPU should be allocated to the environment - or the VM should be moved on a different physical server. The steal time is reported by vmstat st.
