CentOS 5 and Virtualization
An overview of the different virtualization possibilities using CentOS and the tools for managing them.
Virtualization is useful in many situations, for instance to increase server utilization, to run legacy applications, and for application testing.
CentOS includes support for both paravirtualization (Xen) and hardware-assisted full-virtualization (Xen, KVM), with a generic virtualization library (libvirt) on top of them to make life easier for developers and system administrators.
This talk will introduce these technologies and, discusses their use uses. Additionally, provisioning of virtual machines with Cobbler will be touched upon.
