100
The process where physical servers are converted in virtual machines but to their users appear and behave as before
What is virtualization?
100
Runs directly on the hardware. More secure and more available. Offers better performance to the guests it supports.
What is a type 1 hypervisor?
100
A set of data files which is an instance of a container that runs an application.
What is a virtual machine?
100
Creates virtual machines using existing physical servers as their templates.
What is P2V?
100
Installed to enhance the user experience, improve performance, and help manage the VM. Used in combination with a VMware hypervisor.
What is VMware Tools?
200
Processing power doubles roughly every 18 months.
What is Moore's Law?
200
Runs on top of an operating system. Leverages the OS drivers. Often used for desktop development and testing.
What is a type 2 hypervisor?
200
Scheduled slices on Physical CPUs. Equivalent to a processor core.
What is a virtual CPU?
200
Removing physical servers from a datacenter by virtualizing them onto fewer hosts.
What is consolidation?
200
Used to communicate with the hypervisor, but are legitimate to Windows.
What are virtual machine specific drivers?
300
Running multiple workloads on a single host.
What is consolidation?
300
First commercially available hypervisor for x86. Made by VMware. Currently market leader in user share and maturity of offerings.
What is VMware ESXi?
300
Mapped to physical memory but managed by the hypervisor. Amount can be increased or decreased by the hypervisor.
What is virtual memory?
300
Deploying new applications directly into a virtual environment.
What is containment?
300
A growing choice as a server operating system. Lower cost and open source.
What is Linux?
400
AKA a VMM. Must have performance, safety, and fidelity.
What is a hypervisor?
400
Was first released in 2008, replaced Virtual Server. Parent partition is based on Microsoft Windows.
What is Microsoft Hyper-V?
400
The method VMs use to communicate to the outside world. Allows for VM to VM communications without traversing the physical network.
What is virtual networking?
400
Creates a virtual machine while the source workload is active without any application interruption.
What is hot cloning?
400
Allows multiple hosts to stay in time sync.
What is Network Time Protocol (NTP)?
