    Study Notes

    IaaS-level and Virtualization

    • IaaS-level provides a high degree of control and flexibility to users, allowing them to configure and manage their infrastructure.

    Virtualization

    • Virtualization is a technique that creates a virtual version of a device or resource, such as a server, storage device, or network.
    • According to NIST, virtualization is a technology that enables the creation of a virtual version of a device or resource, such as a server, storage device, or network.

    Terms and Concepts

    • The term "bare metal" is often used to refer to the real system in virtualization.
    • A virtual machine (VM) emulates a physical machine, allowing multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical host.

    Virtual Machines (VMs)

    • Use cases for VMs include development, testing, and deployment of applications, as well as providing a sandbox environment for users.
    • VMs can have different characteristics compared to their physical host, such as different operating systems or resource allocations.
    • VMs are often started in Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) clouds using templates or images.

    Cloud Computing

    • Public cloud providers predominantly charge for VM instances based on the amount of resources used, such as CPU, memory, and storage.
    • One of the use cases for VMs mentioned in the text is development, testing, and deployment of applications.

    Rapid Provisioning and Elasticity

    • The main goal of rapid provisioning in the context of IaaS is to quickly and efficiently deploy new resources and services.
    • Elasticity in cloud computing aims to achieve scalable and flexible resource allocation, allowing users to quickly adapt to changing business needs.

    Isolation and Performance

    • The primary concern regarding the isolation of different consumers in the context of IaaS is to ensure that each user's resources and data are securely isolated from others.
    • The approach that aims to maintain good performance despite challenges in cloud computing is load balancing and resource optimization.

    IaaS Providers and Data Centers

    • The key challenge for IaaS providers regarding the management of data centers is ensuring high availability, scalability, and efficiency while maintaining low costs.

    Virtualization Techniques

    • The virtualization technique that relies on hardware support to create virtual machines is hardware virtualization.
