Introduction

Ubuntu is a great OS for use in both virtualisation hosts and in guest virtual machines and software appliances. For example JumpBox uses Ubuntu as the OS in their guest appliances.

Hosts

There are quite a few virtualisation platforms you can use a Ubuntu host with:

Open Source

• KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine) - the officially maintained choice
• Official documentation
• Community documentation
• OpenVZ
• Qemu
• VirtualBox
• XenVirtualMachine

Proprietary

• Parallels
• VMware (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware)

Guests

• Ubuntu can be used as a guest OS in all of the above virtualisation environments.
• Ubuntu Server Edition JeOS is a specialized version of Ubuntu to create Virtual Appliances for KVM or VMWare.
• python-vm-builder is a tool which allows you to automate the creation of virtual machine. The the JeOSVMBuilder tutorial for more information.
