VMware provides server virtualization software that allows multiple virtual machines to run on the same physical server. This increases hardware utilization and consolidation ratios. Key benefits include reduced costs from lower hardware, power, cooling, and real estate needs as well as faster provisioning times. VMware's product line includes ESX Server, VirtualCenter, VMotion, DRS, HA, and other tools for managing and optimizing virtualized environments. Customers report benefits like supporting more workloads without increasing staff and reducing provisioning time from weeks to hours.

Watch this webinar with Scott Lowe, Founder and Managing Consultant at The 1610 Group, and SolarWinds virtualization expert Jonathan Reeve where they discuss “Hyper-V vs. vSphere: Understanding the differences.”
The virtualization market is abuzz with talk of different hypervisors – most prominently VMware ESX® versus Microsoft Hyper-V®, who together own over 90% of the market. Small and medium businesses are already moving quickly toward Hyper-V, and a growing number of larger organizations are beginning to put plans in place to transition some portion of their environment from ESX to Hyper-V.
In this webcast we explore the reasons for these changes and the ecosystems for these two platforms both now and in the future. We also take a look ahead to what is known about Hyper-V 3.0 and why it warrants an even deeper look when evaluating hypervisors for your future virtualization deployments.
Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit 13 :10 years of Xen and BeyondThe Linux Foundation
In 2013, the Xen Hypervisor will be 10 years old: when Xen was designed, we anticipated a world, which now is known as cloud computing. Today, Xen powers the largest clouds in production and is the basis for several commercial virtualization products. In this talk we will give on overview of Xen and related projects, cover hot developments in the Xen community and outline what comes next.
The talk is intended for users and developers that are familiar with virtualization: no deep knowledge is required. We will start with an architectural overview and cover topics such as: Xen and Linux, how to secure your cloud using disaggregation, SELinux and XSM/FLASK, the evolution of Paravirtualization, Xen on ARM and common challenges for open source hypervisors. We will explore the potential of Open Mirage for testing hypervisors. The talk will conclude with an outlook to the future of Xen.

this is my first time making guide it hope it help someone
feel free to share and like :)
Easily confused with cloud-computing, virtualization is actually the software that powers cloud computing. VMware separates physical infrastructures and turns them into dedicated resources. It also allows multiple OS to run on the same server simultaneously. The purpose of virtualization is to reduce the cost of acquiring and maintaining multiple physical resources.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
