Linux Containers and Virtualization
Become familiar with, and deploy, Linux virtualization solutions based on containers or virtual machines.
Course Description
The Linux Containers and Virtualization course provides engineers with a fast, cost-effective way to become familiar with, and deploy, Linux virtualization solutions based on containers or virtual machines.
Course Results
After this course, participants will be able to perform the following:
- Understand technologies present in the Linux virtualization field and their internals
- Configure, build, and optimize an OpenEmbedded/Yocto Project/Wind River® Linux based host system that can accommodate virtualized guests
- Design, implement, and deploy various Linux containers or virtual machines with guest systems
Products Supported
- OpenEmbedded/Yocto Project based distributions
- Wind River Linux LTS
Who Should Attend
- Developers responsible for evaluation of Linux virtualization technologies
- Developers responsible for design, implementation, and deployment of Linux virtualization projects
Course Format
- This three-day expert-led course consists of lectures and hands-on lab sessions.
- Attendees use several virtualization technologies (containers, virtual machines) to gain experience with the topics presented.
- Participants examine and exercise emulated or real hardware targets in hands-on labs.
- Participants receive individual guidance from an expert engineer who has extensive experience with Linux virtualization technologies.
