Virtualization
System-level operating virtualization
• System-level operating virtualization, also known as operating system-
level virtualization or containerization, is a virtualization technique
that allows multiple isolated user-space instances, called containers or
virtual environments, to run on a single operating system kernel.
• Unlike traditional virtualization, which virtualizes the entire operating
system, system level virtualization virtualizes at the operating system
level.
• Here are the key aspects and benefits of system-level operating
virtualization
1. Operating System Kernel Sharing:

• System-level virtualization leverages the host operating system's


kernel and shares it among multiple containers.

• Containers are lightweight and provide isolated environments, but


they do not require separate instances of the entire operating system.

2. Process Isolation:

Each container in system-level virtualization runs as an isolated process


with its own file system, libraries, and resources.
Containers are sandboxed, ensuring that processes within a container
cannot interfere with processes in other containers.

3. Efficient Resource Utilization:

• System-level virtualization is highly efficient in terms of resource


utilization since multiple containers share the same operating system
kernel.
• This approach eliminates the need for redundant operating system
instances, resulting in reduced overhead and improved performance.

4. Rapid Provisioning and Scalability:

• Containers can be quickly provisioned, started, and stopped, allowing


for fast deployment and scaling of applications.

• Containerization simplifies the management of applications by


providing a lightweight and portable packaging format that can be
easily moved across different environments.

5. Portability and Compatibility:

• Containers encapsulate the application along with its dependencies,


ensuring portability across different systems and environments.
• Containers are designed to be platform-agnostic, allowing
applications to run consistently across various operating systems and
hardware architectures.

Resource Isolation and Security:

• System-level virtualization provides resource isolation between


containers, preventing one container from impacting the performance
or stability of others.
• Security mechanisms, such as namespace isolation and control groups
(cgroups), are utilized to enforce resource limits, prioritize resource
allocation, and isolate network and process spaces.

7. Modularity and Microservices:

• System-level virtualization aligns well with modular and microservices


architectures, where applications are broken down into smaller
components.
• Containers enable independent deployment and scaling of individual
components, promoting agility and flexibility in application
development and deployment.

CCS335/CC/III CSE/V SEM/KG-KiTE


• Popular system-level virtualization technologies include Docker, LXC
(Linux Containers), and OpenVZ.
• These technologies provide tools and frameworks to create, manage,
and deploy containers effectively.
• System-level operating virtualization has gained significant popularity
in cloud computing, DevOps, and containerization-based application
deployments, enabling efficient resource utilization, scalability, and
portability of applications.
