WHAT IS VIRTUALIZATON

It is a technology that transforms hardware into software.

Virtualization allows you to run multiple operating systems as virtual machines on a single computer.

Bare Metal Architecture

Hosted Architecture
VIRTUALIZATION APPROACH

Bare Metal Architecture (Type 1 Hypervisors)

Service Console for agents and helper applications
Lowest virtualization overhead
Guest virtual machines share the host resources
ESXi, XenServer and Hyper-V
VIRTUALIZATION APPROACH

Hosted Architecture (Type 2 Hypervisors)

Installs and runs as an application
Relies on host OS for device support and physical
resource management
VMware Server, VMware Player, VMware Fusion,

Guest Additions - special software packages which are

shipped with VirtualBox but designed to be installed
inside a VM to improve performance of the guest OS
and to add extra features

VIRTUAL NETWORKING

Not attached - In this mode, VirtualBox reports to the guest that a network card is present, but that there is no
connection -- as if no Ethernet cable was plugged into the card.

Network Address Translation (NAT) - If all you want is to browse the Web, download files and view e-mail inside
the guest, then this default mode should be sufficient for you, and you can safely skip the rest of this section

VIRTUAL NETWORKING

Bridged networking - This is for more advanced networking needs such as network simulations and running
servers in a guest. When enabled, VirtualBox connects to one of your installed network cards and exchanges
network packets directly, circumventing your host operating system's network stack

VIRTUAL NETWORKING

Internal networking - This can be used to create a different kind of software-based network which is visible to
selected virtual machines, but not to applications running on the host or to the outside world.

VIRTUAL NETWORKING

Host-only networking - This can be used to create a network containing the host and a set of virtual machines,
without the need for the host's physical network interface. Instead, a virtual network interface (similar to a
loopback interface) is created on the host, providing connectivity among virtual machines and the host.
