Paravirtualisation
En informatique, la paravirtualisation est une technique de virtualisation qui présente une interface logicielle similaire à du matériel réel à une machine virtuelle mais optimisée pour ce type de fonctionnement, contrairement à l'émulation d'un périphérique matériel existant qui peut s'avérer laborieuse et surtout lente. La paravirtualisation permet aux moniteurs de machines virtuelles (MMV) d'être plus simples et aux machines virtuelles fonctionnant dessus d'atteindre un niveau de performance proche du matériel réel.
Comparison of platform virtualization software
Platform virtualization software, specifically emulators and hypervisors, are software packages that emulate the whole physical computer machine, often providing multiple virtual machines on one physical platform. The table below compares basic information about platform virtualization hypervisors. Providing any virtual environment usually requires some overhead of some type or another. Native usually means that the virtualization technique does not do any CPU level virtualization (like Bochs), which executes code more slowly than when it is directly executed by a CPU.
Virtualisation
La virtualisation consiste, en informatique, à exécuter sur une machine hôte, dans un environnement isolé, des systèmes d'exploitation — on parle alors de virtualisation système — ou des applications — on parle alors de virtualisation applicative. Ces ordinateurs virtuels sont appelés serveur privé virtuel (Virtual Private Server ou VPS) ou encore environnement virtuel (Virtual Environment ou VE).
Hardware-assisted virtualization
In computing, hardware-assisted virtualization is a platform virtualization approach that enables efficient full virtualization using help from hardware capabilities, primarily from the host processors. A full virtualization is used to emulate a complete hardware environment, or virtual machine, in which an unmodified guest operating system (using the same instruction set as the host machine) effectively executes in complete isolation. Hardware-assisted virtualization was added to x86 processors (Intel VT-x, AMD-V or VIA VT) in 2005, 2006 and 2010 (respectively).
Hardware virtualization
Hardware virtualization is the virtualization of computers as complete hardware platforms, certain logical abstractions of their componentry, or only the functionality required to run various operating systems. Virtualization hides the physical characteristics of a computing platform from the users, presenting instead an abstract computing platform. At its origins, the software that controlled virtualization was called a "control program", but the terms "hypervisor" or "virtual machine monitor" became preferred over time.
X86 virtualization
x86 virtualization is the use of hardware-assisted virtualization capabilities on an x86/x86-64 CPU. In the late 1990s x86 virtualization was achieved by complex software techniques, necessary to compensate for the processor's lack of hardware-assisted virtualization capabilities while attaining reasonable performance. In 2005 and 2006, both Intel (VT-x) and AMD (AMD-V) introduced limited hardware virtualization support that allowed simpler virtualization software but offered very few speed benefits.
Conteneur (virtualisation)
La virtualisation au niveau du système d'exploitation est un paradigme de système d'exploitation (SE) dans lequel le noyau permet l'existence de plusieurs instances d'espace utilisateur isolées, appelées le plus souvent conteneurs (LXC, Solaris containers, Docker, Podman), mais également zones (Solaris containeurs), serveurs privés virtuels (OpenVZ), partitions, environnements virtuels, noyaux virtuels (DragonFly BSD) ou encore prisons (FreeBSD jail ou chroot jail).
Noyau de système d'exploitation
Un noyau de système d’exploitation, ou simplement noyau, ou kernel en anglais, est une des parties fondamentales de certains systèmes d’exploitation. Il gère les ressources de l’ordinateur et permet aux différents composants — matériels et logiciels — de communiquer entre eux. En tant que partie du système d’exploitation, le noyau fournit des mécanismes d’abstraction du matériel, notamment de la mémoire, du (ou des) processeur(s), et des échanges d’informations entre logiciels et périphériques matériels.
Popek and Goldberg virtualization requirements
The Popek and Goldberg virtualization requirements are a set of conditions sufficient for a computer architecture to support system virtualization efficiently. They were introduced by Gerald J. Popek and Robert P. Goldberg in their 1974 article "Formal Requirements for Virtualizable Third Generation Architectures". Even though the requirements are derived under simplifying assumptions, they still represent a convenient way of determining whether a computer architecture supports efficient virtualization and provide guidelines for the design of virtualized computer architectures.
Virtual Iron
Virtual Iron Software, was located in Lowell, Massachusetts, sold proprietary software for virtualization and management of a virtual infrastructure. Co-founded by Alex Vasilevsky, Virtual Iron figured among the first companies to offer virtualization software to fully support Intel VT-x and AMD-V hardware-assisted virtualization. Oracle Corporation agreed to acquire Virtual Iron Software, Inc., subject to customary closing conditions. Oracle now declines to offer any updates or patches for current customers, even updates and patches developed before the purchase.
