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.
- Install VirtualBox
- Setup a Windows into a VM in VirtualBox
- Setup an Ubuntu Linux VM in VirtualBox
- Setup an Arch Linux VM in VirtualBox
- Setup a RedHat Linux VM in VirtualBox
- Setup a SUSE Linux VM in VirtualBox
- Install Vagrant as Docker container (fewer bugs)
- Setup a VirtualBox VM using
vagrant
(container)
- Install KVM/QEMU/
libvirt
/virsh
/libvirtd
and Configure
- Setup a libvirt VM Using
virt-manager
- Setup libvirt VM using
vagrant
(container)
- Setup multiple VMs at the same time using
vagrant
- Configure multiple VMs with
ansible
combined with vagrant
- Setup several physical servers at home
- Combine physical servers with Proxmox or (something)
- Install Terraform client
- Setup several VMs using Terraform pointed at Proxmox
