KVM on CentOS 8

My test platform: CentOS Linux release 8.1.1911 (Core)

Requirements

User with root privileges or non-root user with sudo privileges. Make sure that your hardware platform supports virtualization by running the following command:

$ grep -e 'vmx' /proc/cpuinfo   # Intel platforms
$ grep -e 'svm' /proc/cpuinfo   # AMD platforms
$ lsmod | grep kvm              # Confirm that KVM modules are loaded in the kernel
