About

DRBD® (Distributed Replicated Block Device) is an open source, software‑based, shared‑nothing block storage replication solution for Linux, designed primarily to deliver high-performance, high‑availability (HA) data services by mirroring local block devices between nodes in real time, either synchronously or asynchronously. Implemented deep in the Linux kernel as a virtual block‑device driver, DRBD ensures local read performance with efficient write‑through replication to peer(s). User‑space utilities like drbdadm, drbdsetup, and drbdmeta enable declarative configuration, metadata management, and administration across installations. Originally built for two‑node HA clusters, DRBD 9.x extends support to multi‑node replication and integration into software‑defined storage (SDS) systems such as LINSTOR, making it suitable for cloud‑native environments.

About

KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). It consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, that provides the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module, kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko. Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual machines running unmodified Linux or Windows images. Each virtual machine has private virtualized hardware: a network card, disk, graphics adapter, etc. KVM is open source software. The kernel component of KVM is included in mainline Linux, as of 2.6.20. The userspace component of KVM is included in mainline QEMU, as of 1.3.
