Understanding Virtual Machines
Creating a Virtual Machine
Windows and Linux
100
The process where physical servers are converted in virtual machines but to their users appear and behave as before.
What is Virtualization
100
Software that abstracts hardware resources from virtual machine
What is Hypervisor
100
What is a Virtual Machine
What is A set of data files
100
Creates virtual machines using existing physical servers as their templates.
What is P2V
100
Are installed to enhance the user experience, improve performance, and help manage the VM
What is VMware Tools
200
Mainframe virtualization began.
What is The 1960's
200
Runs directly on the hardware
What is Type 1 Hypervisor
200
scheduled slices on Physical CPUs
What is Virtual CPUs
200
Removing physical servers from a datacenter by virtualizing them onto fewer hosts
What is Consolidation
200
Choose boot device at power on
What is iso or dvd
300
Processing power doubles roughly every eighteen months
What is Moore’s Law
300
Runs on top of an operating system
What is Type 2 Hypervisor
300
How VMs communicate to the outside world.
What is Virtual Networking

What is Containment
300
Is a growing choice as a server operating system
What is Linux
400
Running multiple workloads on a single host
What is Consolidation

First commercially available hypervisor (1998) for the x86 platform
What is VMware ESXi
400
A point-in-time captured state of a VM that can be returned to over and over again.
What is a snapshot
400
Creates a virtual machine while the source workload is active – no application interruption is necessary
What is hot cloning
400
Involves more understanding of the installation process
What is Linux

What is Xen
500
Duplicate the virtual hardware and all of the software
What is a clone
500
Requires the application to be inactive – possibly the rate of data change is too rapid for the P2V to ever complete.
What is cold cloning
500
Allows multiple hosts to stay in time sync
What is Network Time Protocol
