Course Description |
||
Open Source Virtualization takes a deep dive into KVM (Kernel-based
Virtual Machine) and Xen, the most popular hypervisor virtualization
technologies in the open source ecosystem, as well as the deployment and
use of containers. Built by experts in the field of virtualization, this
course provides the technical background to understand the components
required to build and administer a modern virtual IT infrastructure.
This course is focused on problems typically faced in the enterprise
world. The lectures are filled with examples of how KVM, Xen and
containers can be used in business environments as well as practical lab
sessions that let participants gain a realÃ?Â-world
perspective of common virtualization problems and how to address them.
Course Length: 4 Days
Course Tuition: $2400 (US) |
Prerequisites |
|
This course is for technical IT professionals interested in building a reliable, efficient and open virtualization infrastructure with KVM. Students are expected to be well versed in Linux command line usage, shell scripting and text file editing. |
Course Outline |
At the end of the training, attendees will have acquired the skills needed to:
Understand the role KVM and Xen play in the virtualization ecosystem
Know how to assemble KVM and other components into a robust and efficient virtual IT infrastructure
This course is designed to work with a wide range of Linux distributions, so you will be able to apply these concepts regardless of your distro.

Pros
Performance:
Linux supports many efficient tools and operates them seamlessly. Because it's architecture is lightweight it runs faster than both Windows 8.1 and 10.
Security:
Because Linux is an open-source software, anyone can contribute code to help enhance the users’ experience i.e., adding features, fixing bugs, reducing security risks, and more.
Software Development:
The terminal in Linux is a *wild card*. You can do almost anything with it. This includes software installation, application and server configurations, file system management, and etc.
Large-scale:
Open-source projects benefit from having an attentive community. As a result, Linux is more secure than Windows. Instead of installing anti viruses to clean malware, you just have to stick to the recommended repositories.
Efficient:
Developers have the convenience of running servers, training machine learning models, accessing remote machines, and compiling and running scripts from the same terminal window.
Free:
Linux is free (you can put it on as many systems as you like) and you can change it to suit your needs.
|
Cons
Learning Curve:
Linux is not for everyone, there is a learning curve in switching to Ubuntu. To actually learn Linux efficiently would take a user one to several years.
No Tech Support:
Unlike Windows, there isn’t a dedicated tech support, so getting help for things is up to you.
Designer Compatabilty:
Linux is not as user friendly as Windows or as ‘straight out of the box design’ As an example for design choices, Adobe hasn’t released any of its products to Linux users. So it’s impossible to run them directly. The Ubuntu alternative is a free software called GIMP.
Gaming Capabilities:
Most games aren’t available in Linux. But that’s not to say you can’t make it happen, it's just not as easy.
