Virtual machines can often be starved of entropy because typical inputs (such as hardware usage) are unavailable. Sourcing entropy can be time-consuming; virtio-rng makes this process faster by injecting entropy directly into guest virtual machines from the host. + </para> + </listitem> + </varlistentry> </variablelist> </section> <section> |
