Chapter 1. What is virtualization on RHEL for Real Time


To use virtual machines (VMs) in real-time workloads, Red Hat provides virtualization capabilities in RHEL for Real Time.

In RHEL for Real Time, you can configure the host and guest operating systems to achieve low-latency and deterministic behavior for VMs. This makes real-time VMs more suitable for applications that require real-time performance, such as industrial automation, telecommunications, and automotive systems.

For details on the benefits of using a real-time RHEL system, see RHEL for Real Time for optimizing latency.
