I've been developping some software so an entire debian OS gets bootstrapped and installed with all the desired software with the help of puppetlabs software...i need to prepare a server that can handle virtualization and be fast at it. So all the goodies a decent server needs, the apt, caching, networking, firewall, everything checks out... I want to test kvm virtualization... Doesn't work. Wtf? Spend a decent amount of time figuring out what the hell is wrong... I finally dzcide to think 'what if my buddy accidentally gave me a bad mobo'...

$ grep -e (vmx|ssm) /proc/cpuinfo

Nothing...

I feel so stupid to not check the mobo virtualization capabilities.

    Oh well... Lets just use docker, problem solved.

    Hmmm kubernetes....

    Did you check if VT-D etc is enabled in the bios?
    Maybe a CPU upgrade is enough
    Also check out Proxmox if you want decent KVM/LXC virtualization on debian

    @Kimmax yeah i did check, it does not have the vt extension. :(

    Proxmox is powerful indeed but for me it isnt the right solution since it is not aimed for docker. If i would pick sever virtualization management tech, i'd pick openstack for datacenter grade virtualization, but for one server at home it is overkill imho. Also i work intensely with puppet, it's easier for me to declare my docker containers on my host ship this way.
    I do appreciate your suggestions, have a nice day good sir!
