Hyper-V is a hardware virtualization tool that allows users to create virtual computer environments with multiple operating systems on a single physical server. Each virtual machine has computer parts, such as memory, processor, storage, and networking, and acts like a standard computer - running its own operating system and software programs. Each component of the virtual machine can be configured to meet your specific requirements.
It's cheap, but not the best.
Once we bought the datacenter version of the server, we did away with worrying about the cost of licensing our VMs separately

KVM stands for Kernel-based Virtual Machine, which is an open-source virtualization technology that is embedded in Linux. KVM allows users to seamlessly transform their Linux system into a hypervisor that, in turn, will enable a host machine to run numerous, isolated virtual environments or virtual machines (VMs).
It is free and can be run from your laptop, if needed, unlike VMware.
It is cheaper than other competitors like VMware or Hyper-V.
