Block 4 unit 2 Flashcards
Host server
Computer in which virtual environment resides.
Link managing comms between host server and virtualized environment
hypervisor (VMM)
Installed on VM that allows for end-user interaction that is indistinguishable from a standard physical computer/server.
Guest OS
3 virtualization components
Host server
HYPERVISOR
Guest OS
Virtualization types
Desktop
Server
Application
Storage
Separate desktop computer environment from physical device used to access it.
desktop virtulization
Desktop Virtualization architecture
Presentation
Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI)
User profile virtualization
Delivers desktop or application from shared server
Desktop Virtulization
Creates simulated desktops for client on a 1:1 relationship. Users don’t share the environment.
VDI
Allows users to access a workspace without being tied to a single workstation.
user profile virtulization
Most common
Partitioning physical server (host) into smaller virtual servers
server virtulization
Server virtualization architecture
Operating-system level virtualization,
Hardware emulation,
Para-virtualization
Creates containers instead VMs.
Method where kernel of the host OS allows for multiple isolated user-space instances
Operating-system level
Hardware emulation
Host or HYPERVISOR will emulate a certain piece of hardware that it presents to the guest virtual server.
Increases software processing by streamlining comms.
Allows the guest OS/applications to have some access and control to the underlying server hardware.
Para-virtulization
