Best Virtualization Solution

I think the relationship with Vagrant has helped Oracle's VirtualBox significantly in popularity. Yes, Vagrant works with other virtualization platforms, but since it so seamlessly integrates with VirtualBox, I think it gets quite a boost. Virtualization is such an efficient and reliable way to implement systems, bare-metal solutions are almost a thing of the past!

  • Oracle VM VirtualBox 33.4%

  • VMware 22.3%

  • KVM 21.1%

  • XEN 5.7%

  • QEMU 5.3%

  • OpenStack 4.9%

  • Other 4.2%*

  • OpenVZ 1.7%

  • Linux-VServer 1.3%

  • Symantec Workspace Virtualization .1%

*Under "Other", the most write-ins went to Docker, ProxMox and LXC, in that order.
