[CentOS-virt] Differences between qemu-kvm and qemu-kvm-ev
Hi all, What are the real technical difference between qemu-kvm and qemu-kvm-ev packages? What are the advantages to use qemu-kvm-ev (if exists someone)? Or qemu-kvm-ev makes sense when is used with ovirt only?? Thanks.

Some newer or advanced virtualization features have been implemented in qemu-kvm-ev which are not able to be backported to qemu-kvm for compatibility reasons. Also, recently qemu-kvm-ev has a newer qemu-kvm version than the one provided by qemu-kvm being qemu-kvm-ev rebuilt from Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization.> > Thanks. > _______________________________________________ > CentOS-virt mailing list > CentOS-virt at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt >-- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology.

Sandro, Could you please enumerate the actual technical differences between stock qemu-kvm and qemu-kvm-ev? For example, what could one do with qemu-kvm-ev that cannot with qemu-kvm?
