Course LFS462 – Open Source Virtualization
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.
Certification
Job role: Administrator
Learning Outcomes
- This course provides KVM training from the ground up with a focus on QEMU and libvirt, as well as Xen. You will learn how these and other related open source components can be assembled to create a virtual IT infrastructure. There is a focus on practical deployment skills, securing the virtual infrastructure, and administering solutions, as well as detailed material about using containers. Lab exercises focus on virtual images and snapshots, deployment, VM creation and maintenance, integration with networking infrastructure, device pass-through and more.
- This course will prepare you with the skills needed to understand the role KVM and Xen play in the virtualization ecosystem, and to assemble KVM and other components into a robust and efficient virtual IT infrastructure.
