Virtualization originated from mainframe technology in the 1960s where mainframe computers were split into multiple virtual machines to run tasks independently. In the 1990s and 2000s, companies ran one application per physical server leading to inefficient utilization and high costs. Virtualization software allows multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server, improving utilization and reducing costs while maintaining isolation between virtual machines. Virtualization provides benefits like reduced capital and operational expenses, high availability, rapid provisioning, and server consolidation.
Virtualization: Force driving cloud computingMayank Aggarwal
Virtualization allows a single physical machine to run multiple virtual machines, making hardware resources available to multiple virtual operating systems. This is done through a hypervisor or virtual machine monitor that allocates physical resources to virtual machines. Virtualization provides benefits like reduced costs, increased hardware utilization, and isolation of environments while sharing resources. The main types of virtualization are execution level (using a hypervisor), operating system level (through time-sharing), programming level (through virtual machines like Java), application level, storage, and network.
Hardware virtualization allows multiple operating systems to run on a single machine using a virtual machine manager (VMM) or hypervisor. The hypervisor creates virtual machines as guest machines that run on the host hardware. Full virtualization completely simulates the hardware, allowing unmodified guest operating systems. Partial virtualization simulates some but not all of the target environment, requiring some guest programs to be modified. Hardware virtualization disaster recovery environments use hardware and software protection based on business continuity needs, including tape backup for long-term data archiving and whole file or application replication to another disk. While virtualization reduces IT infrastructure complexity through better resource utilization, it still requires purchasing and maintaining servers and software.
Migration of an Enterprise UI Microservice System from Cloud Foundry to Kuber...Tony Erwin
Presented at Open Source Summit Japan with Jonathan Schweikhart on June 21, 2018.
Abstract: The 40 Node.js microservices making up the IBM Cloud UI historically have been deployed as apps on Cloud Foundry (CF), an open source PaaS. But, recently, this enterprise microservice system has been migrated to run on Kubernetes to take advantage of improved orchestration, higher availability, and better performance. Tony Erwin & Jonathan Schweikhart will discuss their team's journey and provide you with insights into the advantages of Kube over CF. Even more importantly, they will describe approaches to solving new problems that took the place of old ones, such as: 1) adapting PaaS apps to run as containers on Kube, 2) enabling geo load balancing between the different runtimes (to vette Kube before completely turning off CF), 3) integrating tools like Prometheus into existing monitoring systems, and more! Their team's first-hand experiences will help you avoid pitfalls as you prepare your own migrations to Kube!

NOTE: CF is always evolving and the limitations on private networking and private host names mentioned in the slides are no longer current. If you have access to CF API 2.115.0 or higher (released on June 25, 2018), you can leverage CF's service discovery feature (see https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/devguide/deploy-apps/cf-networking.html#discovery ).
Server virtualization allows multiple virtual servers to run on a single physical server by dividing the physical resources of the server. There are three main approaches to server virtualization: virtual machine models use a hypervisor to run virtual machines; paravirtual machine models modify the guest OS code; and operating system-level virtualization exports OS functionality without a hypervisor. Server virtualization provides benefits like reduced costs, improved resource utilization, increased availability, and easier disaster recovery. The future of virtualization involves the continued evolution of operating systems to support new forms of multitenancy.
Virtualization allows multiple operating systems and applications to run on the same hardware at the same time by simulating virtual hardware. There are two main types of virtualization architectures: hosted, where a hypervisor runs on a conventional operating system; and bare-metal, where the hypervisor runs directly on the hardware. Virtualization can be applied to desktops, servers, networks, storage and applications. It provides benefits such as reduced costs, simplified management, and the ability to run multiple systems on one physical machine.

Challenges in converging different application models are also highlighted.
This document discusses the concepts of traditional physical servers versus virtual servers. With traditional servers, each application runs on dedicated physical hardware. If a server fails or runs out of resources, a new physical server must be added. Virtualization allows multiple virtual servers to run isolated on the same physical hardware using a hypervisor. This improves scalability, availability, and efficiency compared to traditional servers. Some benefits of virtual servers include rapid deployment, live migration, high availability, and optimizing physical resources. While virtualization is more complex conceptually, it reduces costs over traditional servers in the long run.
To Kill a Monolith: Slaying the Demons of a Monolith with Node.js Microservic...Tony Erwin
The Bluemix UI (which runs on CloudFoundry) is the front-end to Bluemix, IBM's open cloud hosting platform. The original implementation as a single-page, monolithic Java web app brought with it many demons, such as poor performance, lack of scalability, inability to push small updates, and difficulty for other teams to contribute code. Over the last 2 years, the team has been on a mission to slay these demons by embracing cloud native principles and splitting the monolith into smaller Node.js microservices. The effort to migrate to a more modern and scalable architecture has paid large dividends, but has also left behind a few battle scars from wrestling with the added complexity cloud native can bring. The team had to tackle problems in a wide variety of areas, including: large-scale deployments, continuous integration, monitoring, problem determination, high availability, and security. Tony Erwin will discuss the advantages of microservice architectures, ways that Node.js has increased developer productivity, approaches to phasing microservices into a live product, and real-life lessons learned in the deployment and management of Node.js microservices across multiple CloudFoundry environments. His war stories will prepare you to wage your own battles against monoliths everywhere -- happy slaying!

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
