Discuss classification or taxonomy of virtualization at different levels.
Taxonomy of virtualization Virtualization is mainly used to emulate the execution environment, storage, and networks. The execution environment is classified into two: – Process-level – implemented on top of an existing operating system. – System-level – implemented directly on hardware and does not or minimum requirement of the existing operating system. OR, Virtualization covers a wide range of emulation techniques that are applied to different areas of computing. A classification of these techniques helps us better understand their characteristics and use V irtualization is mainly used to emulate ● Execution Environments: To provide support for the execution of the programs eg. OS, and Application. ○ Process Level: Implemented on top of an existing OS that has full control of the hardware ○ System Level: Implemented directly on Hardware and do not require support from existing OS. ● Storage: Storage vi...
