Levels of software virtualization

• Modern computer systems are composed of various hardware and software layers
• Virtualization inserts a software layer (VMM) at different points in this architecture, comes in three variants:

hardware-level virtualization

operating system-level

Application level

Hardware Level Virtualization

• Virtualization layer sits right on top of the real hardware

• Since the VM presents a version the real machine, all software written for that hardware (x86) will run on that virtual machin
• Original design from IBM in the 1960’s

Operating System Level Virtualization

• Virtualization layer sit between the operating system and the application programs that run on the operating system

• Virtual Machine runs applications, or sets of applications written for the operating system but in a controlled environment

(Layers order shown below)

Application level virtualization

• The virtualization layer sits as an application program on top of the operating system
• Can run any programs written for that virtual machine abstraction regardless of the operating system hosting that virtual machine

VIRTUAL MACHINE

• Virtual machine is a software that creates a virtualized environment between the computer platform and its operating system, So that the end user can operate on an abstract machine


• The operating system creates the illusion of multiple processes, each executing on its own processor with its own (virtual) memory.
