In this chapter, we discussed the basic concept of virtualization and were introduced to the Linux kernel virtual machine. We then moved further with an introduction to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and its relation to KVM. Then, we learned about the detailed architecture, components, and hardware and software requirements of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for better planning in order to design your first Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization infrastructure.

In the next chapter, we will learn how to install and configure RHEV Manager and hypervisor hosts. This will also explain how to manage your virtual infrastructure from the admin web interface and access the reporting from the report portal.
