Linux in a Nutshell, 6th Edition

Basic Virtualization Operations

The complexity of virtualization prevents us from covering everything in a small chapter within this book. Fortunately, developers have written tools that handle much of the complexity for you. They have worked hard to make the defaults do the right thing for your system and have written scripts to simplify the tasks. Here we cover the higher-order tools that will help you create and manage virtual systems and networks.
