How is VPS on VMware different from VPS on Xen or KVM?

Question

Xen

Actually, I'm not very good at it.

Answer 1

For those who are inside - the difference is insignificant.
For those who are administrators, there is a difference. There is a competition between technologies. Xen his truth has already lost.
Now, if you compare it with virtualization like OpenVZ or Jails - these already differ from ESX and KVM in principle.

Answer 2

KVM has hardware virtualization.

Answer 3

I don't know in what context the question is asked.
A few thoughts off the top of my head:
- On VMWare you will run VMWare tools, which add nice features related to memory management, collecting statistics in the hypervisor, etc.
- Different hypervisors give different devices to virtual machines. For example network cards. Therefore, some operating systems may start on VMWare, and not start on others. But this rarely happens ...
But in general, I think that the difference is minimal.
