👉 Blvd (Berkeley Distributed Virtualization) is a hypervisor technology that enables the creation of virtual machines (VMs) on top of physical servers without the need for traditional hypervisors like VMware or Microsoft Hyper-V. It operates by partitioning the physical server's resources—CPU, memory, and storage—into isolated virtual environments, each running its own operating system. Blvd uses a unique approach to resource allocation and management, allowing for dynamic scaling of resources based on demand. This makes it highly efficient and cost-effective for cloud-like environments, as it eliminates the overhead associated with traditional hypervisors. Additionally, Blvd supports live migration of VMs between physical hosts, enhancing flexibility and reliability in data center operations. Its architecture is particularly well-suited for environments where rapid scaling, high availability, and efficient resource utilization are critical.
