Course Description

Virtualization of Linux servers is often used to scale large-scale operations such as Amazon's AWS or their cloud clients like Netflix and NASA. However, it can also be used to scale operations of any size. Virtualization is a complex topic that requires a steep learning curve. It can be difficult to figure out what tools to use and how they should be used. Linux Server Virtualization will cover the fundamental principles and technologies that are driving virtualization on Linux. It covers both container and hypervisor virtualization solutions such as Xen, KVM and VirtualBox. You won't be able to cover Microsoft Hyper-V or vSphere's ESXi. However, this course will teach you how to install container managers and hypervisors, and create your own virtual machines. You should be able confidently choose the right tool for your project, and you will have a practical knowledge base to help you build.

Learning curve, and just figuring out which tools you should be using can sometimes be harder than figuring out how to use them

This course, Linux Server Virtualization, will introduce the key principles and technologies driving the virtualization movement on Linux, covering both hypervisor and container virtualization solutions like Xen, KVM, VirtualBox, LXC

(Note, however, that you won't cover vSphere's ESXi or Microsoft's Hyper-V

) Using only freely available software that's compatible with just about any PC you might be running, you will learn how to actually install hypervisors and container managers and launch your own virtual machines

When you're done, you should be able to confidently select the best tool for your project and have a useful practical background on which to build
