L2- Virtualization Technology Anupinder Singh Objectives ● Overview and various terminologies. ● Types of Virtualization. ● How virtualization is achieved. Virtualization ● Virtualization refers to the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including virtual computer hardware platforms, operating systems, storage devices, and computer network resources. ● It offers a layer of abstraction between the computing resources and the applications running over it. Few Relevant Terms ● Virtual Machine: its is a closely detached software device that could run its own operating system and application as if it is running on a physical machine. It contains its own virtual RAM,CPU,Disk,Network etc. ● Guest operating system: Operating system running in a VM environment. ● Hypervisor: It is a thin layer of software that provides virtual partitioning abilities that run directly on hardware, but underneath higher-level virtualization services. ● Virtual machine monitor: this can be a part of hypervisor or can be a separate software entity, that runs between the host operating system and hypervisor. ● Hosted Virtualization: A method where virtualization and partitioning serices run on top of a typical OS. Before Virtualization(x86) ● There is one OS image pre machine ● Software and hardware are tightly bound. ● Multiple application that run on the same machine usually creates complexity ● Resources are not used optimally ● Infrastructure is neither flexible nor economically effective After Virtualization(x86) ● Provisioning of VMs can be done on any system ● OS and application work as a single unit ● OS and applications are independent of hardware Traditional Scenario- 2 server & its utilization Moving from traditional scenario → virtualized Utilization levels in Virtualized server Lets use legos Typical Physical Infrastructure for Enterprise Virtualized Infrastructure for Enterprise Virtualization Types ● CPU Virtualization ● Memory Virtualization ● Device & I/O Virtualization ● OS level Virtualization ● Network Virtualization ● Server Virtualization ● Client/Desktop Virtualization ● Application Virtualization Memory Virtualization Device & I/O virtualization Network Virtualization Types of Hypervisors Virtualized Environment Virtualization Solutions by Entreprise ● VMware ESX and ESXi ● Citrix Xen Server ● Hyper-V ● Oracle Virtual Box ● KVM ● Virtual PC Queries?.

Evaluating and Optimizing I/O Virtualization in Kernel-Based Virtual Machine (KVM)
Evaluating and Optimizing I/O Virtualization in Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) Binbin Zhang1, Xiaolin Wang1, Rongfeng Lai1, Liang Yang1, Zhenlin Wang2, Yingwei Luo1, and Xiaoming Li1 1 Dept. of Computer Science and Technology, Peking University, Beijing, China, 100871 2 Dept. of Computer Science, Michigan Technological University, Houghton, USA {wxl,lyw}@pku.edu.cn, [email protected] Abstract. I/O virtualization performance is an important problem in KVM. In this paper, we evaluate KVM I/O performance and propose several optimiza- tions for improvement. First, we reduce VM Exits by merging successive I/O instructions and decreasing the frequency of timer interrupt. Second, we simplify the Guest OS by removing redundant operations when the guest OS operates in a virtual environment. We eliminate the operations that are useless in the virtual environment and bypass the I/O scheduling in the Guest OS whose results will be rescheduled in the Host OS. We also change NIC driver’s con- figuration in Guest OS to adapt the virtual environment for better performance. Keywords: Virtualization, KVM, I/O Virtualization, Optimization. 1 Introduction Software emulation is used as the key technique in I/O device virtualization in Ker- nel-based Virtual Machine (KVM). KVM uses a kernel module to intercept I/O re- quests from a Guest OS, and passes them to QEMU, an emulator running on the user space of Host OS. QEMU translates these requests into system calls to the Host OS, which will access the physical devices via device drivers. This implementation of VMM is simple, but the performance is usually not satisfactory because multiple environments are involved in each I/O operation that results in multiple context switches and long scheduling latency.

Virtualization can give this software Gartner Research1 defined network virtualization as the a longer operating lifecycle time, and can save both costs process of combining hardware and software network and intellectual property. resources and functionality into a single virtual network. This offers access to routing features and data streams that can provide newer, service-aware, resilient solutions; newer security services that are native within network elements; support for subscriber-aware policy control for peer-to- peer traffic management; and application-aware, real-time session control for converged voice and video applications with guaranteed bandwidth on-demand. For the most part, when we speak of virtualization, we speak of hardware virtualization. That means that we create, on a host machine, a virtual machine that looks like another computer with an operating system and software. The software on the virtual machine is separate from the host machine’s resources, and as far as it is concerned, it is running on its own computer (that we call the guest). Both in information technology (IT) and in operational technology (OT) environments the benefits of virtualization have led to its rapid adoption. This white paper is not a prescriptive guide to network virtualization, rather it is a high-level overview focused on the benefits and challenges of network virtualization. While it will Desktop virtualization separates the logical desktop from review the benefits, it will also cover the specific challenges the actual hardware. Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) network administrators and their respective businesses should permits the user to interact with the computer through understand to cost-effectively apply this technology to gain another host computer or device on a network connection.

Both server virtualization and desktop virtualization are briefly presented, but desktop virtualization is discussed in more details. As the size of computer systems grows every day with new applications, and with new client and market requirements, it is obvious that something must be done to ease the administration and effectively secure data. Additionally, disaster recovery plans must be improved too. Virtualization has solved many of these requirements and has become more and more popular so that many companies decided to implement a virtual server, virtual storage or/and virtual desktops. The paper lists the reasons why to implement virtual desktops and servers and what are the main benefits of such implementations. Virtual environments the also have some downsides, which are presented, explained and compared to the advantages.

Reviewer: Prof. Hermann de Meer Professor of Computer Networks and Communications University of Passau Innstr. 43 94032 Passau, Germany Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.net.fim.uni-passau.de 2. Reviewer: Prof. David Hutchison Director of InfoLab21 and Professor of Computing Lancaster University LA1 4WA Lancaster, UK Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.infolab21.lancs.ac.uk Abstract The increasing cost of energy and the worldwide desire to reduce CO2 emissions has raised concern about the energy efficiency of information and communica- tion technology. Whilst research has focused on data centres recently, this thesis identifies office computing environments as significant consumers of energy. Office computing environments offer great potential for energy savings: On one hand, such environments consist of a large number of hosts. On the other hand, these hosts often remain turned on 24 hours per day while being underutilised or even idle. This thesis analyzes the energy consumption within office computing environments and suggests an energy-efficient virtualized office environment. The office environment is virtualized to achieve flexible virtualized office resources that enable an energy-based resource management. This resource management stops idle services and idle hosts from consuming resources within the office and consolidates utilised office services on office hosts. This increases the utilisation of some hosts while other hosts are turned off to save energy. The suggested architecture is based on a decentralized approach that can be applied to all kinds of office computing environments, even if no centralized data centre infrastructure is available.

Development of Web-Based Remote Desktop to Provide Adaptive User Interfaces in Cloud Platform Shuen-Tai Wang, Hsi-Ya Chang
World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering Vol:8, No:8, 2014 Development of Web-Based Remote Desktop to Provide Adaptive User Interfaces in Cloud Platform Shuen-Tai Wang, Hsi-Ya Chang purpose of cloud platforms and services, and it is a promising Abstract —Cloud virtualization technologies are becoming more approach to consolidating multiple services onto a smaller and more prevalent, cloud users usually encounter the problem of how number of computing resources. A virtualized server to access to the virtualized remote desktops easily over the web environment allows computing resources to be shared among without requiring the installation of special clients. To resolve this multiple performance-isolated platforms called virtual issue, we took advantage of the HTML5 technology and developed web-based remote desktop. It permits users to access the terminal machines [4], [5]. A virtual machine is a software which running in our cloud platform from anywhere. We implemented implementation of a machine that executes related programs a sketch of web interface following the cloud computing concept that like a physical machine. Each virtual machine includes its own seeks to enable collaboration and communication among users for system kernel, OS, supporting libraries and applications. A high performance computing. Given the development of remote hypervisor provides a uniform abstraction of the underlying desktop virtualization, it allows to shift the user’s desktop from the physical machine, and multiple virtual machines can execute traditional PC environment to the cloud platform, which is stored on a remote virtual machine rather than locally. This proposed effort has simultaneously on a single hypervisor.
