You can think of systemd-nspawn as a sort of chroot on steriods. The systemd-nspawn utility is a way to run containers on Linux. Maybe you do not need virtualisation of hardware.Īn alternative you may consider is Containers, and for that Mageia have Docker (docker daemon, containerd, runc and docker-compose) and lxc. This page is meant as an explanation on how the virtualisation pieces fit together in Mageia. A computer on which a hypervisor runs one or more virtual machines is called a host machine, and each virtual machine is called a guest machine." "A hypervisor (or virtual machine monitor, VMM, virtualizer) is a kind of emulator it is computer software, firmware or hardware that creates and runs virtual machines. Furthermore, a hypervisor is not the same as an emulator both are computer programs that imitate hardware, but their domain of use in language differs." In hardware emulation, a piece of hardware imitates another, while in hardware virtualization, a hypervisor (a piece of software) imitates a particular piece of computer hardware or the entire computer.
"Hardware virtualization is not the same as hardware emulation. By virtualisation we here mean more or less emulating one or more computers on which you can install other operating system(s).įrom Wikipedia on Virtualization and Hypervisor:
