Live memory allocation?

Virtual Machines KVM forum

Hi all,

Does KVM support what the Wikipedia calls Live memory allocation? According to the Wikipedia this is not supported, but since both VMware & VirtualBox have it I doubt very much KVM does not have it… 8)

Based on this thread, I conclude KVM supports this as well, and calls it Memory ballooning. 8)

atm only linux guests support memory ballooning, here i found some short info about it - maybe this is helpful:
