# On KVM virtualization

*In this section, the focus is on KVM virtualization, and its associated tools, including `QEMU`, the Linux Kernel, `libvirt`, etc., mostly in the context of Phyllome OS.* 

## Hardware

* [Anatomy of a virtual machine](/virt/vm)
	* [Architecture](/virt/architecture)
	* [Chipset](/virt/chipset)
  * [Firmware](/virt/firmware)
  * [CPU](/virt/cpu)
  * [Memory](/virt/memory)
  * [Storage](/virt/storage)
  * [Network](/virt/network)
  * [Display](/virt/display)
* [Paravirtualized hardware](/virt/virtio) (`virtio`)

## Host
