OpenStack Compute supports many hypervisors, which might make it
difficult for you to choose one. Most installations use only one
hypervisor. However, you can use ComputeFilter and ImagePropertiesFilter to schedule different
hypervisors within the same installation. The following links help you
choose a hypervisor. See /user/support-matrix for a detailed list of features
and support across the hypervisors.
The following hypervisors are supported:
- KVM - Kernel-based Virtual Machine. The virtual disk formats that it supports is inherited from QEMU since it uses a modified QEMU program to launch the virtual machine. The supported formats include raw images, the qcow2, and VMware formats.
- LXC - Linux Containers (through libvirt), used to run Linux-based virtual machines.
- QEMU - Quick EMUlator, generally only used for development purposes.
- VMware vSphere 5.1.0 and newer - Runs VMware-based Linux and Windows images through a connection with a vCenter server.
- Xen (using libvirt) - Xen Project Hypervisor using
libvirt as management interface into
nova-computeto run Linux, Windows, FreeBSD and NetBSD virtual machines. - XenServer - XenServer, Xen
Cloud Platform (XCP) and other XAPI based Xen variants runs Linux or
Windows virtual machines. You must install the
nova-computeservice in a para-virtualized VM. - Hyper-V
- Server virtualization with Microsoft Hyper-V, use to run Windows,
Linux, and FreeBSD virtual machines. Runs
nova-computenatively on the Windows virtualization platform. - Virtuozzo 7.0.0 and newer - OS Containers and Kernel-based Virtual Machines supported via libvirt virt_type=parallels. The supported formats include ploop and qcow2 images.
