Hi folks I’m a newbie trying to get into selfhosting and trying to buy cloud storage. I noticed that sellers are using kvm Vs VPS for their product configuration and I’m not sure how or what I need to be aware of before purchasing?

I’m trying to get into starting small projects and hosting to cloud, what type of projects am I getting into? I have no idea. But planning to buy something to try things out . Are there any pre-built open source projects or tools to get started?

Under what circumstances must I opt for kvm Vs vps?

Ty
