**Overview** This lab starts with demonstration and directions from your Professor. Follow the instructions from your Professor to complete the various activities, then turn your attention to these questions. You may want to take a few notes during the lab activities to make it easier to answer the questions. Some research will be required to answer these questions in full. I have highlighted the spots where you need to provide answers in red. **Outcomes** This lab is designed to build familiarity and comfort with a virtualization platform. Elements of Performance Related Course Learning Outcomes ---------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- EOP 1.3. Install virtualization software CLO 1.

Understand virtualized environments **Time on Task** Learning Activity Approximate Time ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ Follow the Professor-led demonstration 45 min Read, research, and write answers to research section 30 min **Lab Questions** 1. What *virtualization* software did we use today? 2. Who produces this software? Do they make any other software, and if so what is it? 3. Is the software we used considered a Type 1 or Type 2 virtualization platform? Why? 4. What kinds of guest OSes can you install using this tool? 5. What other software could you use to virtualize a computer? 6. Does the software running on a VM "know" that it's running on a virtual computer? 7. Given the characteristics of the VMs that we used today, how many of them could run at the same time on your computer (make your best guess)? 8. What was the key factor limiting the number? (Note: this may be different for you than for other students...) 9. Other than to complete labs and classroom activities at school, how do you think you could use virtualization during your time at Mohawk? 10. Consider the snapshot technology that we used in the lab. How do you think that would be useful to you? How about in a business setting? 11. What other technology did we talk about today that could allow us to run applications in isolation? 12. In your opinion, which of these technologies would be the most appropriate choice for running an old version of an application at the same time as you are using the current version? Explain your answer. 13. Are any Enterprise-level virtual solutions free? If so, what are they? 14. What is the most popular Enterprise-level virtualization platform? Congratulations!

That's what the Professor is for!
