Cloud Computing Virtualization - Tutorialspoint

Virtualization allows sharing of physical resources like applications and hardware among multiple organizations. It creates virtual machines that are logically separated from the underlying hardware. A hypervisor manages these virtual machines. There are two types of hypervisors: type 1 hypervisors run directly on the host computer, while type 2 hypervisors run within a conventional operating system. Hardware virtualization can occur through full virtualization, paravirtualization, or emulation virtualization.

Cloud Computing Virtualization

Virtualization is a technique, which allows to share single physical instance of an application or


resource among multiple organizations or tenants (customers). It does so by assigning a logical
name to a physical resource and providing a pointer to that physical resource on demand.

Virtualization Concept

Creating a virtual machine over existing operating system and hardware is referred as Hardware
Virtualization. Virtual Machines provide an environment that is logically separated from the
underlying hardware.
The machine on which the virtual machine is created is known as host machine and virtual
machine is referred as a guest machine. This virtual machine is managed by a software or
firmware, which is known as hypervisor.

Hypervisor

The hypervisor is a firmware or low-level program that acts as a Virtual Machine Manager. There
are two types of hypervisor:
Type 1 hypervisor executes on bare system. LynxSecure, RTS Hypervisor, Oracle VM, Sun xVM
Server, VirtualLogic VLX are examples of Type 1 hypervisor. The following diagram shows the Type
1 hypervisor.

The type1 hypervisor does not have any host operating system because they are installed on a
bare system.

Type 2 hypervisor is a software interface that emulates the devices with which a system normally
interacts. Containers, KVM, Microsoft Hyper V, VMWare Fusion, Virtual Server 2005 R2, Windows
Virtual PC and VMWare workstation 6.0 are examples of Type 2 hypervisor. The following
diagram shows the Type 2 hypervisor.

Types of Hardware Virtualization


Here are the three types of hardware virtualization:

Full Virtualization
Emulation Virtualization
Paravirtualization

Full Virtualization

In full virtualization, the underlying hardware is completely simulated. Guest software does not
require any modification to run.

Emulation Virtualization

In Emulation, the virtual machine simulates the hardware and hence becomes independent of it. In
this, the guest operating system does not require modification.

Paravirtualization

In Paravirtualization, the hardware is not simulated. The guest software run their own isolated
domains.

VMware vSphere is highly developed infrastructure that offers a management infrastructure


framework for virtualization. It virtualizes the system, storage and networking hardware.
