What is Virtualization?
Virtualization is the ability to run virtual machines on top of a hypervisor
Virtualization and Cloud Computing
• Virtualization is the ability to run "virtual machines" on top of a hypervisor
• A hypervisor provides a uniform abstraction of the underlying physical machine.
• Abstraction in the key idea in Service Models of Cloud!
Timeline of Virtualization
• 1970s: virtual machines first used
• 1990s: x86 becomes prominent server platform
• 1999: VMWare first product to virtualize x86
• 2006: AMD and Intel offer hardware support
Benefits of Virtualization
• Greatest Cost Savings• Highest Server Utilization• Built-In High Availability• Zero Downtime Failover• Best Performance• Unmatched Reliability• Superior Security• Lowest TCO• Fastest, Easiest Management

What is a Virtual Machine (VM)?
• A virtual machine (VM) is a software implementation of a machine that executes programs like a physical machine.
• Each VM includes its own kernel, OS, supporting libraries and apps.
Some scenarios
The desktop user who wants to run a copy of Windows on his Linux computer running simultaneously
Some scenarios
A system architect wanting to run 3 different server OS on one machine or a cluster
Some scenarios
A programmer who wants to test his programs on a platform the customer is using
VMM / Hypervisor
▪ VMM: Virtual Machine Monitor▪ Small special purpose operating system✓ Each process acts like a separate computer or VM✓ Can run a full OS in each virtual machine
Types of hypervisors (VMM)
• Type 1 (or native, bare metal) – run directly on the host's hardware to
control the hardware and to manage guest OS.
• Type 2 (or hosted) – run within a conventional operating
system environment.
Types of hypervisors (VMM)
How to execute guest instructions on a host?
Interpretation(emulation)
Slow execution speed, but easy implementation
Translation
Dynamic translation (JIT): translation while running
Static translation (AOT): multiple binary problemComplicated but faster execution, especially with optimizations
Run directly on the hardware
When the host and guest ISA are binary compatible

Pros and Cons of Virtualization
Pros:SandboxHardware independentOS independentFast RecoveryLive BackupMigrate dataReduced HardwareRun Multiple OS SimultaneouslyCost savingsUse of Multicore processorsSystem SecurityTest and Development
Cons:Less EfficientUnstable PerformanceTools lack abilityRapid DeploymentLatency of Virtual DiskBackup and Data SetsSecurity IssuesHardware compatibility issuesManaging and Securing is difficult
Virtualization: Enterprise Perspective
Reduced cost–Improve server utilization–Reduce hardware costs–Reduce power consumption
Agility–Operational scalability–Rapid provisioning
Security–Isolated Systems
Enough! Lets see in Action
