KVM 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.

Compute Engine (IaaS), a platform from Google that allows organizations to create and manage cloud-based virtual machines, is an infrastructure as a services (IaaS).
Computing infrastructure in predefined sizes or custom machine shapes to accelerate cloud transformation. General purpose machines (E2, N1,N2,N2D) offer a good compromise between price and performance. Compute optimized machines (C2) offer high-end performance vCPUs for compute-intensive workloads. Memory optimized (M2) systems offer the highest amount of memory and are ideal for in-memory database applications. Accelerator optimized machines (A2) are based on A100 GPUs, and are designed for high-demanding applications. Integrate Compute services with other Google Cloud Services, such as AI/ML or data analytics. Reservations can help you ensure that your applications will have the capacity needed as they scale. You can save money by running Compute using the sustained-use discount, and you can even save more when you use the committed-use discount.
