Pietzuch of Computing Imperial College London [email protected]://lsds.doc.ic.ac.uk Fall 2018 Intro to Virtualization 2 Why do we need virtualizaton? • Recall previous lecture… 3 What is virtualization? • Broadly speaking… Virtualization: simulate or emulate a function of a resource (object) in software, identical to that of the physical one. Abstraction to make software look and behave like hardware. • Recall – virtual memory • Computer software gains access to more memory than it is physically installed, via the background swapping of data to disk storage. • Similarly, virtualization techniques can be applied to other IT infrastructure layers, including networks, storage, laptop or server hardware, OSs and applications. 4 Virtual infrastructure • Allows multiple VMs with different OSs and applications to run in isolation, side by side on the same physical machine. • VMs can be provisioned to any system. • Machine independence of OS and applications. • Can manage an application and its OS as a unit, encapsulating them in a single VM. src: VMWare whitepaper -- Virtualization 5 Properties of Virtual Machines • Key properties of VMs: • 1. Partitioning – Run multiple OS on one physical machine – Divide system resources between VMs • 2. Isolation – Provide fault and security isolation at the hardware level – Preserve performance with advanced resource controls • 3. Encapsulation – Save the entire state of a VM to files – Move and copy VMs as easily as copying and moving files • 4. Hardware independence – Provision or migrate any VM to any physical server 6 Virtualization – Definitions and Terms Virtual Machine (VM): a tightly isolated software container with an operating system (OS) and an application inside.

  • A Virtual Machine Environment for Real Time Systems Laboratories
    AC 2007-904: A VIRTUAL MACHINE ENVIRONMENT FOR REAL-TIME SYSTEMS LABORATORIES Mukul Shirvaikar, University of Texas-Tyler MUKUL SHIRVAIKAR received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Tennessee in 1993. He is currently an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Texas at Tyler. He has also held positions at Texas Instruments and the University of West Florida. His research interests include real-time imaging, embedded systems, pattern recognition, and dual-core processor architectures. At the University of Texas he has started a new real-time systems lab using dual-core processor technology. He is also the principal investigator for the “Back-To-Basics” project aimed at engineering student retention. Nikhil Satyala, University of Texas-Tyler NIKHIL SATYALA received the Bachelors degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU), India in 2004. He is currently pursuing his Masters degree at the University of Texas at Tyler, while working as a research assistant. His research interests include embedded systems, dual-core processor architectures and microprocessors. Page 12.152.1 Page © American Society for Engineering Education, 2007 A Virtual Machine Environment for Real Time Systems Laboratories Abstract The goal of this project was to build a superior environment for a real time system laboratory that would allow users to run Windows and Linux embedded application development tools concurrently on a single computer. These requirements were dictated by real-time system applications which are increasingly being implemented on asymmetric dual-core processors running different operating systems. A real time systems laboratory curriculum based on dual- core architectures has been presented in this forum in the past.2 It was designed for a senior elective course in real time systems at the University of Texas at Tyler that combines lectures along with an integrated lab.

The Hypervisor is the one which provides the complete virtualization environment which will intend to virtualize as much as hardware and systems which will include the CPUs, Memory, network interfaces and so on. Because of the virtualization technologies such as the KVM and others such as ESXi, there has been a significant decrease in the usage if the resources and decrease in the costs involved.
