Q2. Explain functionality of hypervisor?
explain type-1 and type-2 hypervisor?
Hypervisor Functionality: - Hypervisor,
also known as a virtual machine monitor
(VMM), creates and manages virtual
machines (VMs). - It abstracts physical
hardware resources and presents them as
virtual resources to VMs. - Hypervisor
enables the simultaneous operation of
multiple operating systems (OS) or
applications on a single physical machine. -
It provides isolation between VMs,
ensuring that they run independently
without interfering with each other.
Hypervisor allocates and manages system
resources such as CPU, memory, storage,
and network bandwidth among VMs.
Type-1 Hypervisor (Bare Metal
Hypervisor): - Type-1 hypervisor runs
directly on the host machine's hardware. -
It is installed directly on the physical server,
eliminating the need for a separate
operating system.- Features: - High
performance and efficiency. - Direct
hardware access for VMs. - Enhanced
security and isolation. - Example: VMware
ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V Server, Citrix
XenServer. Type-2 Hypervisor (Hosted
Hypervisor): - Type-2 hypervisor runs as a
software layer on top of a host operating
system. - It requires an underlying
operating system to manage hardware
resources. - Features: - Easy installation
and management. - Allows running
multiple OS and applications
simultaneously. - Example: Oracle
VirtualBox, VMware Workstation,
Microsoft Virtual PC.
Q3.Difference between type-1 and type-2
hypervisor? Type-1 Hypervisor (Bare
Metal): 1.Runs directly on the host
machine's hardware. 2.Installed directly on
the physical server. 3.Offers high
performance and efficiency. 4.Provides
direct hardware access for VMs. 5.Offers
enhanced security and isolation.
6.Examples: VMware ESXi, Microsoft
Hyper-V Server. Type-2 Hypervisor
(Hosted): 1.Runs as a software layer on top
of a host OS. 2.Requires an underlying
operating system. 3.Performance may be
slightly lower than Type-1. 4.Relies on host
OS for hardware access. 5.Security
depends on host OS's security measures.
6.Examples: Oracle VirtualBox, VMware
Workstation.
Q4. Explain types of virtualization?? i)
Server Virtualization: Server virtualization
is the process of creating multiple virtual
servers or virtual machines (VMs) on a
single physical server. It involves the
abstraction of physical hardware
resources, such as CPU, memory, and
storage, and presenting them as virtual
resources to the VMs. Each VM operates as
an independent server, running its own
operating system and applications. -
Advantages: - Efficient utilization of
hardware resources. - Cost savings on
hardware, power, and cooling. - Improved
scalability and flexibility. - Disadvantages: -
Dependency on the hypervisor for
performance and stability. - Potential
single point of failure. - Example: VMware
vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V.
ii) Storage Virtualization: Storage
virtualization involves abstracting physical
storage resources, such as disks, arrays,
and SAN (Storage Area Network), and
presenting them as a virtualized storage
pool. It decouples logical storage from
physical storage devices, allowing
administrators to manage storage
resources more efficiently.- Advantages: -
Simplified storage management and
provisioning. - Improved data availability
and redundancy. - Increased flexibility and
scalability. - Disadvantages: - Performance
impact due to the overhead of
virtualization layer. - Complexity in
integration with existing storage
infrastructure. - Example: EMC ViPR, IBM
SAN Volume Controller.
iii) Network Virtualization: Network
virtualization abstracts physical network
infrastructure, including switches, routers,
and firewalls, and creates virtual networks
that operate independently of the
underlying physical network. It allows for
the creation of multiple logical networks on
a shared physical infrastructure.-
Advantages: - Enhanced network flexibility
and agility. - Improved network scalability
and isolation. - Simplified network
management and provisioning. -
Disadvantages: - Increased network
latency due to overlay network. -
Dependency on virtualization software for
network functionality. - Example: VMware
NSX, Cisco ACI.
iv) Desktop Virtualization: Desktop
virtualization, also known as Virtual
Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), delivers
virtual desktop environments to end-users,
enabling them to access their desktops
from various devices and locations. -
Desktop virtualization delivers virtual
desktop environments to end-users. -
Advantages: - Centralized management
and security. - Improved accessibility and
remote access. - Simplified software
deployment and updates. - Disadvantages:
- Increased infrastructure requirements. -
Dependency on network connectivity for
desktop access. - Example: Citrix Virtual
Apps and Desktops, VMware Horizon.
v) Application Virtualization: Application
virtualization separates applications from
the underlying operating system and runs
them in isolated virtual environments. It
encapsulates applications and their
dependencies, allowing them to run
independently of the host operating
system.- Advantages: - Simplified
application management and
compatibility. - Reduced conflicts between
applications. - Improved security and
isolation. - Disadvantages: - Performance
overhead due to virtualization layer. -
Dependency on virtualization software for
application execution. - Example:
Microsoft App-V, VMware ThinApp.
Q5. Detailed explanation of the levels of
virtualization?? i) Operating Level
Virtualization (Operating System-level
virtualization): - Also known as
containerization or operating system (OS)-
level virtualization. - It allows multiple
isolated user-space instances, called
containers, to share a single host operating
system kernel. - Each container appears as
a separate, isolated environment, but they
all run on the same operating system. -
Advantages: - Efficient resource utilization:
Containers share the host OS resources,
resulting in minimal overhead and efficient
resource utilization. - Low overhead:
Operating level virtualization has a lower
overhead compared to other forms of
virtualization, resulting in fast startup and
shutdown times. - Easy management:
Containers can be easily deployed,
managed, and scaled, making it ideal for
lightweight applications and microservices
architectures. - Disadvantages: - Limited
operating system compatibility: The host
and guest operating systems must be the
same or compatible. - Potential security
concerns: Since containers share the host
kernel, if one container is compromised, it
could potentially affect other containers.
Example: Docker, OpenVZ.
ii) Para-Virtualization: - Para-virtualization
involves modifying the guest operating
system to make it aware of the
virtualization layer. - The guest operating
system and the hypervisor communicate
directly, bypassing the need for hardware
emulation. - Advantages: - Improved
performance: By modifying the guest OS,
para-virtualization achieves better
performance compared to full
virtualization as it avoids the overhead of
hardware emulation. - Efficient resource
utilization: Para-virtualization allows for
efficient resource sharing between virtual
machines. - Close to native performance:
The modified guest OS interacts directly
with the hypervisor, resulting in
performance close to that of a non-
virtualized environment. - Disadvantages:
- Requires guest OS modifications: To
leverage para-virtualization, the guest
operating system must be specifically
modified, limiting compatibility with non-
modified operating systems. - Potential
complexity: Para-virtualization can
introduce additional complexity due to the
requirement of modifying the guest
operating system. Example: Xen
iii) Full Virtualization: - Full virtualization
emulates the underlying hardware,
allowing multiple guest operating systems
to run on a single physical machine without
requiring modifications. - It provides a
complete virtual environment, isolating
each guest operating system and allowing
different operating systems to run
simultaneously. - Advantages: - Supports
different operating systems: Full
virtualization allows running various
operating systems on the same physical
host, providing flexibility and compatibility.
- Strong isolation: Each virtual machine
operates in an isolated environment,
ensuring that activities in one virtual
machine do not impact others. - Wide
compatibility: Full virtualization is
compatible with a broad range of operating
systems and applications. - Disadvantages:
- Higher overhead: Full virtualization incurs
a higher overhead due to the need for
hardware emulation, which can impact
performance. - Potential performance
impact: Running multiple virtual machines
on a single physical server can lead to
resource contention and performance
degradation if not properly managed.
