notes on various virtualisation approaches

We have been using VMware

• A usefule comparison of approaches and technologies http://virt.kernelnewbies.org/TechComparison

There are two major approaches (1) containers and (2) virtualisation

Containers

LXC

• LXC, LXD https://linuxcontainers.org - this aims at ‘system containers’ which are a full virtual environment, without multiple kernels and hardware simulation

Docker

• Docker - I have some notes on our usage
• Understanding the Docker Machine and Docker Engine https://docs.docker.com/machine/overview://docs.docker.com/machine/overview/
• You can run the engine on Linux, Windows and on a Mac

Virtualisation

Here both the hardware and operating system levels are virualised and presented to the guest systems.
