Performance comparison between various Hypervisors (dasite.quattrofan.de)

I spent a few days comparing various Hypervisors under the same workload and on the same hardware. This is a very specific workload and results might be different when testing oher workloads.

I wanted to share it here, because many of us run very modest Hardware and getting the most out of it is probably something others are interested in, too. I wanted to share it also because maybe someone finds a flaw in the configurations I ran, which might boost things up.

If you do not want to go to the post / read all of that, the very quick summary is, that XCP-ng was the quickest and KVM the slowest. There is also a summary at the bottom of the post with some graphs if that interests you. For everyone else who reads the whole post, I hope it gives some useful insights for your self-hosting endeavours.

Not being an expert it seems as though your setup is windows-centric, whereas KVM tends to shine on linux.

Yes, it is Windows centric because that is where the workload is based on I need to run. It would be cool to see a similar comparison with a workload under Linux that puts strain on CPU, Memory and Disk.
