Project Talk:Virtualization

Suggestion
Hi all,

I hope this helps a little:


 * This includes (combination of) the following techniques: KVM, Qemu, Lguest, Xen, VMWare, VirtualBox, vServer, OpenVZ, Linux Containers, Solaris Zones, FreeBSD Jails

Should be

= New Outline = After perusing the entire Gentoo WIki on Virtualization/QEMU/Virt-manager/Guest/Linux setup wiki, I find that the continuity between components to be rather quirky and lacking suitable jump points to where a reader wants to go next.

To minimize the jumble, I am submitting a propsal on the granularity of the breakdown on virtualization and generically organized into nestable computer architecture:


 * Virtualization
 * Virtualizer Engines (QEMU/Xen/VMware)
 * Front-End to Virtualizer Engines (GUI and CLI)
 * Front-End Networking
 * Creating guest using a Front-End
 * Installing an OS into the guest

Within in my User:Egbert/Drafts, I've done a bit of reorganizing by outline and started to move things toward a common thread as outlined above.

The following pages are being roughly reorganized so that we can be able to take on multiple variants of guest target (Windows/Linux/BSD) as well as different virtualization engines (Docker/QEMU/LXD/Xen/Podman).

As a demonstration of fluidity of nested computer virtualization, I'm starting my outline with just the QEMU/KVM/virt-manager/Linux guest/Gentoo OS.

Wiki pages are:

 * [url=https://wiki.gentoo.org/index.php?title=User:Egberts/Drafts/QEMU/QEMU_front-ends]QEMU/QEMU front-ends[/url] for configuration tools or commands toward the creation and maintenance of virtual machines.

 * [url=https://wiki.gentoo.org/index.php?title=Comparison_of_virtual_machines]Comparison of virtual machine[/url]

Of course, my objective is more about trying to decide what to choose and where to go next.
