Virtualization Fundamentals

Virtualization is the foundation of modern IT, running nearly every cloud service and most enterprise workloads. This learning path gives you a vendor-neutral understanding of how it works, from the problem it was invented to solve to setting up your first environment. You'll explore hypervisors, virtual machines, and containers, then learn how compute, storage, and networking are virtualized and how features like high availability, live migration, and snapshots keep everything running. You'll also learn how to secure and protect virtual environments and how to compare leading platforms, including VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix, KVM, and HPE, so you can choose the right one. All you need is a grasp of basic hardware and networking concepts.
