Course Overview
Hello, and welcome. My name is Andrew Mallet, otherwise known as The Urban Penguin. Let me introduce you to my very latest Pluralsight course, the LFCS, Linux Virtualization Management. I am the owner of The Urban Penguin in the UK, and I train and consult in Linux administration. I also dab a little in development and pretty much like to build and work with deployment systems. In this course, we are preparing for real life Linux administration, which includes the practical based exams delivered both by the Linux Foundation and by Red Hat. We'll be taking a look at virtualization, pristine and open source within the Linux environment. We will be running KVM-based virtual machines managed via libvirt. We are also going to be able to see how we can set up and manage KVM-based virtual machines, which is going to include installing virtual machines using the in-built PXE services of libvirt. We'll be managing running virtual machines and migrating them between KVM hosts. We'll also take a look at how we can manage more lightweight container solutions managed with Docker. By the end of this course, you are going to be well-versed in how to create and manage your own virtualization solution based on KVM. Before beginning the course, you should have already sat the LFCS: Linux Essentials course, or have similar knowledge, along with the LFCS: Linux Services Management course because we refer back to both the PXE installs, the FTP server, and automating these tools using kickstart files.
