Part B

1. Define virtualization
Virtualization is a process that makes the use of physical computer hardware more
effective and forms the basis for cloud computing.
Virtualization uses software to create a layer of abstraction over computer hardware,
enabling multiple virtual computers, usually referred to as VMs, to split the hardware
elements from a single computer — processors, memory, storage and more

2. List the characteristics of virtualization

Increased security
Managed execution
Portability

3. What are the techniques of hardware virtualization?

i) Hardware-assisted virtualization
ii) Full virtualization
iii) Paravirtualization
iv) Partial virtualization

4. What are the benefits of virtualization in the context of cloud computing?

Scalability,
Consolidation of servers,
Improved System Reliability,
Virtual Work Stations

5. What are the disadvantages of virtualization?

Programs that Require Physical Hardware
Performance Quality Can Decrease
Testing is Critical, Unexpected Expenses
Data can be at Risk Quick Scalability is a Challenge
Unintended Server Sprawl

6. Give some Technology examples of Virtualization

Xen: paravirtualization
VMware: full virtualization
Microsoft Hyper-V

7. What are the types of clouds? (Cloud Deployment Models)

Public Clouds
Community Clouds
Private Clouds
Hybrid Clouds
