    Ubuntu Server Guide Welcome to the Ubuntu Server Guide! This site includes information on using Ubuntu Server for the latest LTS release, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa). For an offline version as well as versions for previous releases see below. Improving the Documentation If you find any errors or have suggestions for improvements to pages, please use the link at thebottomof each topic titled: “Help improve this document in the forum.” This link will take you to the Server Discourse forum for the specific page you are viewing. There you can share your comments or let us know aboutbugs with any page. PDFs and Previous Releases Below are links to the previous Ubuntu Server release server guides as well as an offline copy of the current version of this site: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa): PDF Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver): Web and PDF Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus): Web and PDF Support There are a couple of different ways that the Ubuntu Server edition is supported: commercial support and community support. The main commercial support (and development funding) is available from Canonical, Ltd. They supply reasonably- priced support contracts on a per desktop or per-server basis. For more information see the Ubuntu Advantage page. Community support is also provided by dedicated individuals and companies that wish to make Ubuntu the best distribution possible. Support is provided through multiple mailing lists, IRC channels, forums, blogs, wikis, etc. The large amount of information available can be overwhelming, but a good search engine query can usually provide an answer to your questions.

They are the oldest type of containers 01 BSD jails, Linux vServer, Solaris Zones, OpenVZ, LXC and LXD. They behave like standalone systems 02 No need for specialized software or custom images.

  • Separating Protection and Management in Cloud Infrastructures
    SEPARATING PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT IN CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURES A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Zhiming Shen December 2017 c 2017 Zhiming Shen ALL RIGHTS RESERVED SEPARATING PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT IN CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURES Zhiming Shen, Ph.D. Cornell University 2017 Cloud computing infrastructures serving mutually untrusted users provide se- curity isolation to protect user computation and resources. Additionally, clouds should also support flexibility and efficiency, so that users can customize re- source management policies and optimize performance and resource utiliza- tion. However, flexibility and efficiency are typically limited due to security requirements. This dissertation investigates the question of how to offer flexi- bility and efficiency as well as strong security in cloud infrastructures. Specifically, this dissertation addresses two important platforms in cloud in- frastructures: the containers and the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platforms. The containers platform supports efficient container provisioning and execut- ing, but does not provide sufficient security and flexibility. Different containers share an operating system kernel which has a large attack surface, and kernel customization is generally not allowed. The IaaS platform supports secure shar- ing of cloud resources among mutually untrusted users, but does not provide sufficient flexibility and efficiency. Many powerful management primitives en- abled by the underlying virtualization platform are hidden from users, such as live virtual machine migration and consolidation. The main contribution of this dissertation is the proposal of an approach in- spired by the exokernel architecture that can be generalized to any multi-tenant system to improve security, flexibility, and efficiency.

  • Openvz Forum Each Container
    Subject: I am thinking of moving to LXD Posted by votsalo on Wed, 17 Aug 2016 19:13:50 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message I am thinking of moving my dedicated server to LXD (a variant of LXC). One reason is that I can run LXD on several different environments where I can run Ubuntu: * On a dedicated server. * On an Amazon EC2 instance. * On my home machine, running Ubuntu desktop. * On a cheap Ubuntu 16.04 Openstack KVM VPS. I find the VPS option very usuful, however tricky because of the tight disk space. I can have a few containers on my VPS. I can move containers between the VPS and another LXD server. I can run a container OS that I need on my VPS that is not offered as a choice by my VPS provider, but is available as an LXD template. And perhaps I can replace the dedicated server with a few cheaper VPSs. I have tried doing all these with OpenVZ in the past. I couldn't get it to run anywhere, except on the dedicated server or on a dedicated home machine (or dual boot). Now it seems that I cannot run OpenVZ 7.0.0 on any of the above infrastructure. I have installed OpenVZ 7.0.0 on my home machine, as a dual boot, but I'm not using it, since I use my desktop OS and I cannot use both at the same time. In the past I tried installing OpenVZ on several desktop distributions, but I couldn't find one that worked.

  • Security of OS-Level Virtualization Technologies: Technical Report
    Security of OS-level virtualization technologies Elena Reshetova1, Janne Karhunen2, Thomas Nyman3, N. Asokan4 1 Intel OTC, Finland 2 Ericsson, Finland 3 University of Helsinki, Finland 4 Aalto University and University of Helsinki, Finland Abstract. The need for flexible, low-overhead virtualization is evident on many fronts ranging from high-density cloud servers to mobile devices. During the past decade OS-level virtualization has emerged as a new, efficient approach for virtualization, with implementations in multiple different Unix-based systems. Despite its popularity, there has been no systematic study of OS-level virtualization from the point of view of security. In this report, we conduct a comparative study of several OS- level virtualization systems, discuss their security and identify some gaps in current solutions. 1 Introduction During the past couple of decades the use of different virtualization technolo- gies has been on a steady rise. Since IBM CP-40 [19], the first virtual machine prototype in 1966, many different types of virtualization and their uses have been actively explored both by the research community and by the industry. A relatively recent approach, which is becoming increasingly popular due to its light-weight nature, is Operating System-Level Virtualization, where a number of distinct user space instances, often referred to as containers, are run on top of a shared operating system kernel. A fundamental difference between OS-level virtualization and more established competitors, such as Xen hypervisor [24], VMWare [48] and Linux Kernel Virtual Machine [29] (KVM), is that in OS-level virtualization, the virtualized artifacts are global kernel resources, as opposed to hardware.
