Practical Learning About Virtualization

Here’s what I suggest to get your head around all that is possible with virtualization. Eventually, I’ll have learning labs of these after having gone through it. Others can do it in their own way.

  1. Install VirtualBox
  2. Setup a Windows into a VM in VirtualBox
  3. Setup an Ubuntu Linux VM in VirtualBox
  4. Setup an Arch Linux VM in VirtualBox
  5. Setup a RedHat Linux VM in VirtualBox
  6. Setup a SUSE Linux VM in VirtualBox
  7. Install Vagrant as Docker container (fewer bugs)
  8. Setup a VirtualBox VM using vagrant (container)
  9. Install KVM/QEMU/libvirt/virsh/libvirtd and Configure
  10. Setup a libvirt VM Using virt-manager
  11. Setup libvirt VM using vagrant (container)
  12. Setup multiple VMs at the same time using vagrant
  13. Configure multiple VMs with ansible combined with vagrant
  14. Setup several physical servers at home
  15. Combine physical servers with Proxmox or (something)
  16. Install Terraform client
  17. Setup several VMs using Terraform pointed at Proxmox
