Summary

In this chapter, we took a look at virtualization, specifically with QEMU/KVM. We walked through the installation of KVM and the configuration required to get our virtualization server up and running. We walked through the process of creating a bridged network so that our virtual machines can be accessible from the rest of the network and created our first virtual machine. In addition, although QEMU/KVM doesn't have its own solution for templating, we worked around that and created our own solution.

In Chapter 13, Running Containers, we'll take a look at containerization, which will include both Docker and LXD. Stay tuned!
