qemu with KVM support compared to "professional" virtualization products from VMware or Oracle

[Martin T <m4rtntns@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I need to virtualize few dozen virtual-machines for production
environment under Debian host-machine. I like the KISS principle
provided by qemu with KVM support where each utility has its own
specific purpose. For example I set up the virtual switch with
ip/brctl utility or use single qemu executable to crate
virtual-machines. However, is qemu with KVM support as
suitable(stability, reliability) for production environment as so to
say professional virtualization products from VMware or Oracle?


thanks,
Martin
