What is the relation between Virtual Machine Manager and KVM/QEMU?












-1

















  1. What is the relation between Virtual Machine Manager and
    KVM/QEMU? The Wikipedia links says




    In computing, the Red Hat Virtual Machine Manager, also known as virt-manager, is a desktop virtual machine manager




    and links "virtual machine manager" to
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervisor. So if Virtual Machine
    Manager is a hypervisor, then what is KVM/QEMU?



  2. Why is VirtualBox not separated into two things in parallel to
    Virtual Machine Manager and KVM/QEMU? In VirtualBox, which part is
    similar to Virtual Machine Manager, and which part similar to
    KVM/QEMU? Or is VirtualBox itself more similar to Virtual Machine Manager or to KVM/QEMU?


Thanks.

          1. I’m not sure why the Wikipedia article links that particular phrase to the hypervisor article; the description of Virtual Machine Manager on its own web site is more accurate:




            The virt-manager application is a desktop user interface for managing virtual machines through libvirt.




            VMM isn’t a hypervisor itself, it’s a GUI used to manage virtual machines (and LXC containers).



          2. VirtualBox is split into multiple components. The GUI you’re presumably used to is one component; VMs can be run separately and managed using other tools, e.g. VBoxManage. The GUI is similar to Virtual Machine Manager, and the VM engine is similar to KVM/QEMU.
