Abstract

Hypervisors are fundamental technologies for virtualization, since they are responsible for the abstraction of hardware and the provision of virtualized resources for guests. This activity results in overhead. As a result, performance can vary significantly depending on the technology chosen for virtualized environments. This work aims to compare the performance of the KVM and VMware ESXi virtualizers, checking discrepancies and evaluating the results with the performance of the native environment. To carry out the experiments and contribute to the reproducibility of this work, a script was developed. The experiments indicate that KVM has better performance than VMware ESXi.
