Course content

1 section • 13 lectures • 56m total length

  • Introduction1:05

    Explore virtualization fundamentals and virtual machines for beginners, defining virtualization, how virtual machines work, and key terminology, with a hands-on VMware deployment demonstration.

  • Module 1 - What is Virtualization0:34

    Explore virtualization and its relation to cloud computing, learn the key terms, and identify the types and use cases covered in this module.

  • Comparing Virtualization to Cloud11:03

    Virtualization uses a hypervisor to abstract compute, storage, and networking, enabling multiple virtual machines on one hardware; cloud computing delivers on-demand, pay-as-you-go resources with elasticity driven by virtualization.

  • Terminology to Know3:03

    Learn core virtualization terms—host, hypervisor, guest OS, virtual machine, and VMware—explaining how physical hardware supports the hypervisor, which provisions guest operating systems and applications.

  • Types of Virtualization4:42

    Explore the main types of virtualization—hardware, software, network storage, and desktop—focusing on how hypervisors create virtual machines, with type one (bare metal) and type two (hosted) architectures.

  • Module Review1:12

    Virtualization creates a logical boundary around physical hardware, enabling sandboxed resource deployment. Cloud computing provides on-demand access to services, and we compare type one and type two hypervisors.

  • Module 2 - Virtual Machine Fundamentals0:25

    Explore what a virtual machine is and how it works, examine resource provisioning and available resource types, and follow a live deployment demonstration with a segment wrap-up.

  • What is a Virtual Machine?8:29

    Learn how virtual machines use a hypervisor to abstract compute resources, host multiple guest OSes (Windows, Linux), and support disaster recovery with type 1 ESXi and type 2 VMware Server.

  • VM Resource Provisioning13:46

    Provision virtual machine resources with clear definitions and reservations. Balance overprovisioning with on-demand reallocation and use templates to deploy VMs on VMware hypervisors.

  • Demonstration - Deploy a Virtual Machine10:22

    Install VMware Workstation Pro and deploy a virtual machine, following the setup wizard to use typical settings, create a blank disk VM, and leverage snapshots and VMware Tools.

  • Module 2 Review0:53

    Explore how a virtual machine uses software to abstract compute resources like memory, storage, network, and CPU, and compare type 1 and type 2 hypervisors with a live ESXi deployment.

  • Additional Resources0:44

    Discover additional technology resources, including tech commanders dot com, the GCP, Google News.com, our GitHub repository, ebooks on cloud computing and blockchain, and fin ops.

Description

Course Overview – Virtualization Fundamentals

In this course you will learn the fundamentals of virtualization and also the types of virtualization available. You will then learn about how Cloud Computing compares to virtualization as well common terminology.

We will then go through what a virtual machine is, several types of hypervisors and VM resources.

We will also go through creating a virtual machine using VMWare Server in a demonstration. Lastly, we will cover the main VMWare solutions for deploying virtual machines.

After the completion of this course, you will have a solid understanding of virtual machines and will be ready to advance to more technical VMWare courses.

What you will learn

  • Understand what virtualization all is about and how virtual machines are configured and deployed

  • Learn about types of hypervisors and when to select them.’

  • Learn about VM Resources required for a virtual machine deployment

  • Learn how to install VMWare Server and then deploy a Virtual Machine
