Abstract	:	Today, virtualization is a critical and widely utilized technology. It is deployed for distributing the abilities of physical computers by separating the resources among operating systems. Furthermore, the virtual machinery can also offer manageable atmospheres for up-to-date computing systems. Virtualization has several advantages such as manageability, flexibility, separation, downtime reduction, cost efficiency, and scalability, etc. In this study, a comprehensive survey about the most potential mechanisms and tools of virtualization has been discussed. The renowned mechanisms of virtualization have been reviewed such as Full Virtualization, Para Virtualization, Desktop Virtualization, and Network Virtualization, etc. Additionally, some of the common virtualization tools like VMware, OpenVZ, Xen, Qemu, Docker, and Kernel-based Virtual Machine ‘KVM’ had been briefly explained. This study reviewed many up to date works that have been done by other researchers were used various visualization mechanisms and tools. Therefore, a comparison has been done among various tools of the virtualization in terms of some basic factors such as virtualization method, usability, and accessibility. This study will be useful for newer researchers that interest to work in this area.
