Overview
Virtualization Using KVM:
KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). This is developed by RedHat, available as a free, open-source alternative to other commercial solutions.
Through this training we will learn how to download, install and setup KVM, what tools we can use to manage virtual machines, manage multiple KVM VM’s, command-line usage and scripting, and many other concepts.
The training includes the following:
- Short Intro about KVM
- Software installation – which will include the OS that can be used and commands to be used to enable virtualization
- Step by Step performing of the commands
- Knowing QEMU and its tools for VMs
- Configuring server network, storage, network bridge
- Steps to create VM
- Execution of Commands for managing VM, its state.
- Entering a VM Guest
- Managing multiple KVM VMs.
- Operation on VM like Editing, Updating, Deleting a VM.
- Migrating VM, Taking Backup.
Target Customers:
- Technical IT professionals
