Remove Large files in Git history

You pushed some large unnecessary files mistakenly in git, then just removing the file will not help we need to remove the file from git history.

Steps to check the largest files:

 - cd my-repo
- git rev-list --objects --all | git cat-file --batch-check='%(objecttype) %(objectname) %(objectsize) %(rest)' | awk '/^blob/ {print substr($0,6)}' | sort --numeric-sort --key=2 --reverse | head | gcut --complement --characters=13-40 | gnumfmt --field=2 --to=iec-i --suffix=B --padding=7 --round=nearest

Steps to remove the largest files:

 - Download the bfg.jar file(https://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/).
- git clone --mirror git@github.com:saravanan/my-repo.git
- java -jar bfg.jar --delete-files large-file my-repo.git
- cd my-repo.git
- git reflog expire --expire=now --all && git gc --prune=now --aggressive
- git push

KVM & Qemu

QEMU is a powerful emulator, which means that it can emulate a variety of processor types. Xen uses QEMU for HVM guests, more specifically for the HVM guest's device model. The Xen-specific QEMU is called qemu-dm (short for QEMU device model) QEMU uses emulation; KVM uses processor extensions (intel-VT) for virtualization. Both Xen and KVM merge their various functionality to upstream QEMU, that way upstream QEMU can be used directly to accomplish Xen device model emulation, etc. Xen is unique in that it has paravirtualized guests that don't require hardware virtualization. Both Xen and KVM have paravirtualized device drivers that can run on top of the HVM guests. The QEMU hypervisor is very similar to the KVM hypervisor. Both are controlled through libvirt, both support the same feature set, and all virtual machine images that are compatible with KVM are also compatible with QEMU. The main difference is that QEMU does not support native virtualization. Consequently, QEMU has ...
