    Windows 10 Licensing on top of KVM/QEMU/Kubevirt


    Greetings everyone!Have a question in regards to dynamic/standard licensing for Windows 10 based VMs Desktops RDP is not used and not planned to work with which run on KVM/QEMU/Kubevirt for dynamic scaling. If there is a possibility of dynamically activate them or use licenses/activation to pre-bake images for VMs?Let me know if you need any more input from my end.Thanks a million in advance!

    :)

    qemu-kvm

    It will not run under Windows as KVM is a kernel-level virtualization built for the Linux kernel.

    It allows remote management (through KVM) using VNC (password optional, but I do recommend one.)

    You don't need X installed on the server. You can install X Server on a windows machine, open an X tunnel using SSH, and open virt-manager and it will be displayed on your Windows box. I work with KVM in a business environment and it is a very nice platform (we have something like 8 QEMU/KVM virtual machines in production running on a dual-quad core xeon server with hyperthreading and 24gb of memory). Virt-manager makes it very easy to manage QEMU/KVM but the CLI tools gives you much more control.


    I thought it could only run under the architecture it was compiled for.

    qemu-kvm

    virt-manager is the gui that can be used to do exactly this.

    from the open source project:QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.

    When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs made for one machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a different machine (e.g. your own PC). By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good performance.

    When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near native performances by executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. QEMU supports virtualization when executing under the Xen hypervisor or using the KVM kernel module in Linux. When using KVM, QEMU can virtualize x86, server and embedded PowerPC, and S390 guests.
