Role of Virtualization in Cloud Computing

How virtualisation works in Cloud Computing
What is Virtual Machine ?
A virtual machine (VM)
abstracts the hardware of a
physical computer, such as the
CPU, memory, and disk drives,
into multiple virtual
environments, allowing
different operating systems to
run simultaneously on the same
physical machine.
What is Virtualization ?
Virtualization is the creation of a virtual version of an actual
piece of technology, such as an operating system OS, a server,
a storage device or a network resource.

Virtualization allows multiple virtual machines to run on a single

physical machine, optimizing resource usage and providing
isolation between environments.

Virtualisation gives Better utilization of Hardware and reduce

hardware cost and make easier.
How does it work?
Abstraction of Hardware: The hypervisor abstracts the
underlying hardware resources (CPU, memory, storage, and
network) and allocates them to multiple VMs. Each VM thinks it
has its own dedicated hardware.

Isolation: Each VM runs its own operating system and

applications independently, ensuring that failures or changes
in one VM do not affect others.
Types of Virtualization:
1. Full Virtualization :
Full virtualization is a technique that
allows an unmodified guest operating
system to run on a virtual machine,
simulating a complete hardware
environment using a hypervisor,
without requiring changes to the
guest OS.

Microsoft and Parallels systems are

examples of full virtualization.
2. Para-Virtualization:

Paravirtualization, a technique in which

the guest operating system is modified
to work in cooperation with the VMM to
optimize performance.

VMware and Xen are some examples of

paravirtualization.
3. Server-Virtualization:
It is the process of dividing a physical
server into multiple virtual servers using
a hypervisor. Each virtual server
operates independently, running its own
operating system and applications,
allowing better utilization of hardware
resources and easier management.

VMware ESXi and KVM are some

examples of Server virtualization.
4. Desktop-Virtualization:
Desktop virtualization enables users to
run virtual desktop environments on a
central server or local device. It
separates the desktop operating
system and applications from the
physical hardware, making it accessible
remotely or locally.

VMware Horizon and WVD are some

examples of Desktop virtualization.
5. Software-Virtualization:

Software virtualization allows a single physical

machine to run multiple software environments
or applications isolated from each other. This
enables testing, deployment, and sandboxing of
applications without conflicts.

VMware ThinApp and Docker are some examples

of Software virtualization.

How does virtualization work?

Hypervisor installation

A specialized software called a hypervisor is installed on the physical server.

Virtual machine creation

The hypervisor creates VMs, each running its own operating system and applications.

Resource allocation and management

The hypervisor dynamically allocates the physical server’s resources to the VMs base
on their requirements.

Virtual network setup

Virtualization also enables the creation of virtual networks

Management and automation tools

Allow administrators to easily create, configure, and monitor VMs
