About

The Virtualization Technologies program provides hands-on training in virtual machine (VM) management, containerization, hypervisors, cloud virtualization, and network virtualization. Participants will gain expertise in VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud-based virtualization solutions (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud). This course prepares IT professionals for virtualization, cloud computing, and DevOps roles.

Aim

To equip participants with essential and advanced skills in virtualization technologies, enabling them to deploy, manage, and optimize virtual machines, containers, and cloud-based virtual environments for enterprise IT and DevOps applications.

Program Objectives

To introduce participants to virtualization principles and hypervisors.
To train participants in virtual machine management, networking, and storage virtualization.
To develop expertise in Docker, Kubernetes, and container orchestration.
To explore cloud-based virtualization strategies and hybrid infrastructure.
To prepare professionals for roles in IT infrastructure, cloud computing, and virtualization management.

Program Structure

Week 1: Introduction to Virtualization and Hypervisors

Module 1: Understanding Virtualization

What is Virtualization?
- Importance of virtualization in modern IT infrastructure.
- Types of virtualization: Server, Network, Storage, Desktop, and Application.
- Virtualization vs. Containerization.
Benefits and Challenges of Virtualization
- Cost efficiency, scalability, and resource utilization.
- Performance considerations and security risks.

Hands-On Lab:

Setting up a virtualized environment using VMware Workstation/VirtualBox.

Module 2: Hypervisors and Virtual Machine Management

Introduction to Hypervisors
- Type 1 (Bare-metal) vs. Type 2 (Hosted) Hypervisors.
- Overview of VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM, Xen, and Oracle VirtualBox.
Creating and Managing Virtual Machines (VMs)
- Installing guest operating systems in a hypervisor.
- Allocating CPU, RAM, and storage to VMs.
- Snapshots, cloning, and VM templates.

Hands-On Lab:

Deploying a virtual machine using VMware ESXi or Hyper-V.

Week 2: Storage, Networking, and Performance Optimization in Virtualization

Module 3: Virtual Storage and Resource Management

Storage Virtualization Concepts
- Virtual Hard Disks (VHD/VMDK).
- Thin vs. Thick Provisioning.
- Storage Area Networks (SAN) and Network-Attached Storage (NAS).
Resource Allocation and Performance Tuning
- CPU, Memory, and Disk optimization techniques.
- Overcommitting resources vs. performance impact.
- Best practices for balancing VM workload.

Hands-On Lab:

Configuring virtual storage and optimizing VM resource allocation.

Module 4: Virtual Networking and Security

Networking in a Virtualized Environment
- Bridged, NAT, and Host-only networking modes.
- Virtual switches and VLANs.
- Software-defined networking (SDN).
Securing Virtual Machines
- Role-based access control (RBAC) and VM isolation.
- Hardening virtual environments against cyber threats.
- Backup and disaster recovery strategies.

Hands-On Lab:

Setting up virtual networking with VLANs and configuring firewall rules for VMs.

Week 3: Containerization, Cloud Virtualization, and Automation

Module 5: Introduction to Containerization

Understanding Containers vs. Virtual Machines
- Differences between Docker, Kubernetes, and traditional hypervisors.
- When to use containers vs. VMs.
Working with Docker and Kubernetes
