|CL| kernels
############
The |CLOSIA| provides several Linux kernels distributed over several bundles.
These `bundles`_ serve the following specific use cases.
Kernel native
=============
The *kernel-native* bundle focuses on the bare metal platforms. It is
optimized for fast booting and performs best on the Intel® architectures
described on the :ref:`supported hardware list<gs_supported_hardware>`. The
optimization patches are found in our `Linux`_ GitHub\* repo.
Kernel LTS
==========
The *kernel-lts* bundle focuses on the bare metal platforms but uses the
latest :abbr:`LTS (Long Term Support)` Linux kernel. It is optimized for fast
booting and performs best on the Intel® architectures described on the
:ref:`supported hardware list<gs_supported_hardware>`. Additionally, this
kernel includes the VirtualBox\* kernel modules, see our
:ref:`instructions on using Virtualbox<vm-virtualbox>` for more information.
The optimization patches are found in our `Linux-LTS`_ GitHub repo.
Kernel KVM
==========
The *kernel-kvm* bundle focuses on the Linux
:abbr:`KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine)`. It is optimized for fast booting
and performs best on Virtual Machines running on the Intel® architectures
described on the :ref:`supported hardware list<gs_supported_hardware>`.
Use this kernel when running |CL| as the guest OS
on top of *qemu/kvm*. Use this kernel with **cloud orchestrators** using
*qemu/kvm* internally as their **hypervisor**.
This kernel can be used as a stand alone Linux VM, see our
:ref:`instructions on using KVM<vm-kvm>` for more information. The
optimization patches are found in our `Linux-KVM`_ GitHub repo.
Kernel Hyper-V\*
================
The *kernel-hyperv* bundle focuses on running Linux on Microsoft\*
Hyper-V. It is optimized for fast booting and performs best on Virtual
Machines running on the Intel® architectures described on the
:ref:`supported hardware list<gs_supported_hardware>`.
Use this kernel when running |CL| as the guest OS of **Cloud Instances** in
projects such as Microsoft `Azure`_\*. This kernel can be used as a stand
alone Linux VM, see our :ref:`instructions on using Hyper-V<vm-hyper-v>` for
more information. The optimization patches are found in our `Linux-HyperV`_
GitHub repo.
Kernel Hyper-V LTS
==================
The *kernel-hyperv-lts* bundle focuses on running Linux on Microsoft
Hyper-V but uses the latest :abbr:`LTS (Long Term Support)` Linux kernel. It
is optimized for fast booting and performs best on Virtual
Machines running on the Intel® architectures described on the
:ref:`supported hardware list<gs_supported_hardware>`.
Use this kernel when running |CL| as the guest OS of **Cloud Instances** in
projects such as Microsoft `Azure`_. This kernel can be used as a stand
alone Linux VM, see our :ref:`instructions on using Hyper-V<vm-hyper-v>` for
more information. The optimization patches are found in our
`Linux-HyperV-LTS`_ GitHub repo.
Kernel Container
================
The *kernel-container* bundle contains the kernel used by the
`Intel® Clear Containers`_ project on |CL|. This kernel is optimized for
fast booting and performs best on |CC| running on the Intel® architectures
described on the :ref:`supported hardware list<gs_supported_hardware>`.
The optimization patches are found in our `Linux-Container`_ GitHub repo.
