I think there is no difference if your VM is KVM based(Others like Xen
or vmware I do not know).

For virtual NIC, you can add one intel NIC in your VM hardware
config(pass through or emulation mode)

We have tested DPDK inside VM in two different ways:
- Using virtual interface. Thus we were able to develop DPDK apps on any
machine.
- Using PCI pass-through. Thus we were able to achieve maximum speed on
DPDK-enabled NIC.

Please check the following blog posts.

You can use virt-manager for a simple start :)

Or you can also use command line like virsh command or qemu command, but
it is much complex for new user :)
