12 Session Abstract Virtualization is the foundation stone in the Cloud Computing era The speakers will present, detail & elaborate Comprehensive Concepts Overview, Insight, Recommendations, Best Practices, Current Strategies, Pros & Cons, Relevance/Role in Cloud Computing, Prevalent/Dominant Paradigms & Technologies and, a whole lot more about Virtualization as, it relates to Oracle professionals from the perspective of Oracle on Oracle VM

13 What is Virtualization? A Virtual Machine Monitor/Hypervisor enables OS Kernels to run and co-exist as guests Hypervisors are installed and are responsible for allocation & coordination of CPU, Memory, I/O, Peripheral resources etc. to the guest virtual machines

14 Virtualization in Perspective: What is Cloud Computing? Synopsis & Overview Cloud Computing means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. So what exactly is Cloud Computing? In its most generally accepted form, Cloud Computing is Web/Network-based computing where Abstracted Resources are located and shared on the Network, whether Intranet (Private Cloud) OR Internet (Public Cloud) Cloud is sometimes used as an alternative term/metaphor for the Internet Cloud Computing is On-Demand, Metered and Self-Serviceable Cloud Computing is an evolution of existing IT paradigms, strategies & models: In many aspects it is a re-branding, re-organization and re-presentation of various components in the overall IT ecosystem. Here are a few salient characteristics/features of an IT Cloud: Dynamic, Elastic, Agile and Scalable Multi-tenant, Secure & Reliable Metered Service-based models

15 Virtualization in Perspective: What is Cloud Computing? Synopsis & Overview Four models of deployment are currently prevalent/inuse: Private Cloud (aka Enterprise Cloud): Characterized by clouds on private networks (May someday replace the traditional Data- Center term) Public Cloud: Shared (Typically Virtualized) resources over the Internet Hybrid Cloud: A mix/hotch-potch/conglomerate of Private/Public Cloud models Community Cloud: Organizations forming a shared cloud for common needs/goals/purposes

16 Virtualization in Perspective: What is Cloud Computing? Synopsis & Overview Five layers of Cloud Computing with three Service Models are broadly identified according to general consensus: Server layer: Hardware/Software: CPUs, RAM etc Client layer: Desktops, OSs, browsers etc Application layer: aka Software as a Service (SaaS Service Model) provides applications (typically multi-tenant) over the Internet Platform layer: aka Platform as a Service (PaaS Service Model) provides a computing platform by implementing/providing the whole solution stack. This has been identified by Oracle as the sweet spot of Cloud Computing in the years to come Infrastructure layer: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS Service Model) provides the entire computing infrastructure/ecosystem usually through virtualization

17 Virtualization in Perspective: What is Cloud Computing? Synopsis & Overview Cloud Computing is in flux, not completely mature and still evolving Is Cloud Computing a Paradigm Shift? The answer is YES & NO: Depends on your perception, understanding & implementation of your flavor of Cloud Computing Is Cloud Computing seeing massive adoption? It is catching on and, the prospects are very promising

18 Virtualization in Perspective: What is Cloud Computing? Synopsis & Overview Figure/Diagram from Gartner

19 Virtualization in Perspective: What is Cloud Computing? Synopsis & Overview Oracle s definition of Cloud Computing: Identical to Amazon EC2: It must be Virtualized and it must be Elastic Clustering Virtualization Dynamic Provisioning SOA/Shared Services Management /Automation

20 Oracle VM Categories/Types Oracle has 2 types of VM product offerings: Type 1 Hypervisor: installed on bare metal hardware Oracle VM Server for x86 Oracle VM Server for SPARC Type 2 Hypervisor Oracle VM VirtualBox Installed on an existing host OS Allows multiple OS to run on a single machine (X86) Controls its own IO, Network, etc Following Data from Chapter 1 of the Oracle Virtual Box Manual

21 XEN Synopsis & Overview XEN is the leading open-source industry standard hypervisor; 4.x is the latest version Ian Pratt founded XenSource; Later acquired by Citrix in 2007 Originated at the University of Cambridge The XEN Hypervisor is the virtualization base of Amazon EC2; The market leader in the Cloud Computing IaaS Service Model

22 XEN Synopsis & Overview Oracle is a member of the XEN Advisory Board Other members of the XEN Advisory Board include Citrix, HP, IBM, Intel, Novell, Oracle & Red Hat Learn more about XEN at

27 Oracle VM Overview & Architecture Figure/Diagram from Oracle Documentation

28 Oracle VM Overview & Architecture Installs on bare-metal x86 hardware Does not require a pre-installed OS XEN-based hypervisor boots a small domain called DOM0 which is used for assigning/distribution/co-ordination of CPU, I/O etc. resources Guest VMs are created/configured As/In DOMus

29 Oracle VM Overview & Architecture Java-based management server with a Web-based UI Utilizes Oracle Database as Management Repository: Comes pre-packaged with a FREE XE version of the Oracle databae; Can be converted to all other flavors of the Oracle Database Server family Oracle VM Agents on each Oracle VM Server for Communication/Management Uses Server Pools to group virtualization resources: Each Server Pool >= 1 Oracle VM Servers

35 Oracle VM Some Performance Benchmarks Figure/Diagram from The Tolly Group

36 Oracle VM VirtualBox A brief intro Very Portable 32 bit/64 bit No Hardware virtualization Can run on older hardware Guest Additions: shared folders, seamless windows, 3D virtualization Allows advanced features

37 Oracle VM VirtualBox A brief intro Multi-generation Branched Snapshots - Saves arbitrary snapshots of the state of the virtual machine. You can go back in time and revert the virtual machine to any such snapshot and start an alternative VM configuration from there Clean Architecture; Excellent Modularity - VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with welldefined internal programming interfaces and a clean separation of client and server code

38 Oracle VM VirtualBox A brief intro Software development kit (SDK) - Allows for integrating every aspect of VirtualBox with other software systems Remote Machine display - The VirtualBox Remote Desktop Extension (VRDE) allows for high-performance remote access to any running virtual machine. The VRDE is plugged directly into the virtualization layer. It works with the guest operating systems other than Windows (even in text mode) and does not require application support in the virtual machine either On top of this special capacity, VirtualBox offers you more unique features: Extensible RDP authentication - VirtualBox already supports Winlogon on Windows and PAM on Linux for RDP authentication USB over RDP - Via RDP virtual channel support, VirtualBox allows you to connect arbitrary local USB devices to a virtual machine which is running remotely
