You should have a knowledge of working with Linux based systems.\u003c\/p\u003eWhat You Will Learn\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeploy different workloads in isolation with KVM virtualization and better utilize the available compute resources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplore the benefits of running applications with KVM and learn to prevent the “bad-neighbor” effect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeveraging various networking technologies in the context of virtualization with Open vSwitch and the Linux bridge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate KVM instances using Python and inspect running KVM instances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand Kernel Tuning for enhanced KVM performance and better memory utilization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eIn Detail\u003cp\u003eVirtualization technologies such as KVM allow for better control over the available server resources, by deploying multiple virtual instances on the same physical host, or clusters of compute resources. With KVM it is possible to run various workloads in isolation with the hypervisor layer providing better tenant isolation and higher degree of security.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will provide a deep dive into deploying KVM virtual machines using qemu and libvirt and will demonstrate practical examples on how to run, scale, monitor, migrate and backup such instances. You will also discover real production ready recipes on deploying KVM instances with OpenStack and how to programatically manage the life cycle of KVM virtual machines using Python. You will learn numerous tips and techniques which will help you deploy \u0026amp; plan the KVM infrastructure. Next, you will be introduced to the working of libvirt libraries and the iPython development environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, you will be able to tune your Linux kernel for high throughput and better performance. By the end of this book, you will gain all the knowledge needed to be an expert in working with the KVM virtualization infrastructure.\u003c\/p\u003eStyle and approach\u003cp\u003eThis book takes a complete practical approach with many step-by-step example recipes on how to use KVM in production. The book assumes certain level of expertise with Linux systems and virtualization in general. Some knowledge of Python programming is encouraged, to fully take advantage of the code recipes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Packt Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140079010032,"sku":"9781788291507","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781788291507_p0.jpg?v=1763741373","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781788291507","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
