Comparison Tables

Welcome to the Comparison Tables 

This document is designed to provide a clear snapshot of where our hypervisor, AtomOS, stands in terms of features and compatibility, especially in relation to VMware’s ESXi. Whether you’re evaluating solutions or ensuring best practices, this guide aims to make the decision-making process easier.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Feature-by-Feature Comparison: A direct comparison between the most important capabilities of VMware ESXi and their current implementation status in AtomOS, our Linux KVM-based hypervisor.

• Guest OS Compatibility Overview: A concise breakdown of which operating systems can reliably run as guest VMs on AtomOS.

• Filesystem and Image Format Compatibility: A practical table showing how different guest VM filesystems interact with various underlying disk image formats—critical for understanding performance and reliability implications.

Use this document as a quick reference or a starting point for deeper evaluation.
