Description: A KVM virtual network (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is an infrastructure that allows virtual machines (VMs) to communicate with each other and with the outside world efficiently and securely. This network is implemented in virtualization environments that use KVM, a module of the Linux kernel that turns the operating system into a hypervisor. KVM virtual networks are essential for interconnecting multiple VMs, allowing them to share resources and communicate without the need for additional physical hardware. Through these networks, VMs can interact with each other, access external services, and participate in broader networks, such as local area networks (LANs) or wide area networks (WANs). The main features of a KVM virtual network include the ability to create isolated networks, dynamic IP address allocation, and integration with network management tools. Additionally, these networks can be configured to simulate different network topologies, which is useful for testing and development. The relevance of KVM virtual networks lies in their ability to optimize resource usage, enhance security by isolating environments, and facilitate scalability in modern IT infrastructures.
