1 section • 15 lectures • 1h 43m total length

Introduction4:05
Explore Cavium virtualization, an open-source, kernel-integrated virtualization solution for Linux that runs VMs as Linux processes with private hardware support, enabling migration, isolation, and management via Cockpit.
Installation of VMware Workstation2:13
Download the VMware Workstation setup, run the installer as administrator, and complete the license prompts to install VMware Workstation, reboot, and use the 30-day trial for practice.
LAN segment1:39
Configure a lan segment by adding networks and attaching them to a virtual machine's network adapters in a kvm setup on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.
CentOS 8 installation on VMware workstation12:32
Guide learners through installing a CentOS 8 virtual machine on VMware Workstation, from creating the VM and configuring user credentials to custom partitioning and setting a static IP.
Installing KVM Virtualization7:38
Install Cavium virtualization on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 by verifying system compatibility, enabling virtualization in the BIOS, installing hypervisor packages such as hypernova, and configuring bridge utilities and services.
Set Up Network Bridge6:36
Configure a network bridge on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 by setting static IPs and a gateway, then reboot and verify the bridge via network manager.
Create a VM, CentOS Linux 8 on KVM from windows vnc6:33
Create a CentOS Linux 8 VM on a KVM hypervisor on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 from Windows using VNC, configuring bridge networking, disk space, and initial user setup.
Take control of VM from Virt-Manager tool and allocate IP to that VM4:50
Install and run virt-manager to control a virtual machine on a cavium hypervisor, then configure a static ip and network settings for remote login.
virtual machine cloning and take snapshot6:04
Cloning a virtual machine and creating snapshots while configuring IP addresses for the VM using the work manager, with steps to log in, manage, and delete VMs.
Manage VM's from CLI5:24
Manage and monitor Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 KVM virtual machines from the command line, including listing states, starting, stopping, restarting, destroying VMs, and removing their storage.
Resize disk of virtual machine3:56
resize a virtual machine disk in KVM on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 by checking VM status and increasing from 20 gb to 30 gb, with a warning about shrinking.
copy full virtual machines from one KVM host to another KVM host17:26
Export full virtual machines from one Cavium KVM host to another, transfer disk images, and import them on the destination while configuring bridged networking and verifying connectivity.
installation of Ubuntu 20.4 on KVM from virt-manager14:11
Install Ubuntu 20.04 on a Cavium KVM host via virt-manager, configuring installation media, language, and user credentials. Set up a bridge network and migrate the VM between Cavium hosts.
Monitor administrate KVM hypervisor from cockpit tool10:10
Monitor and administer the KVM hypervisor using the cockpit web-based interface to manage virtual machines, networking, and storage on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 host.

Description

virtualization solution for Linux or Linux Virtualization with KVM .

KVM (Kernel based Virtual Machine) is the virtualization solution for Linux. It consist of a loadable Kernel module that allows the Linux Kernel to work as a Hypervisor. KVM provides hardware-assisted virtualization for a wide variety of guest operating systems.

KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). It consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, that provides the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module, kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko.

Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual machines running unmodified Linux or Windows images. Each virtual machine has private virtualized hardware: a network card, disk, graphics adapter, etc.

KVM is open source software. The kernel component of KVM is included in mainline Linux, as of 2.6.20. The userspace component of KVM is included in mainline QEMU, as of 1.3.

Kernel-based Virtual Machine is a virtualization module in the Linux kernel that allows the kernel to function as a hypervisor

Under KVM, each VM is a Linux process that is scheduled and managed by the kernel and has private virtualized hardware (i.e CPU, network card, disk, etc.). It also supports nested virtualization, which allows you to run a VM inside another VM.

In this course , we are installing KVM virtualization host on CentOS 8. We are also installing Cockpit to manage our KVM Virtualization environment through a graphical interface.
