An Overview of Virtualization

IndioMan writes to point us to an overview of virtualization — its history, an analysis of the techniques used over the years, and a survey of Linux virtualization projects. From the article: "Virtualization is the new big thing, if 'new' can include something over four decades old. It has been used historically in a number of contexts, but a primary focus now is in the virtualization of servers and operating systems. Much like Linux, virtualization provides many options for performance, portability, and flexibility."

That article had the virtue of being a virtual cornucopia of information.

You just wait. Next thing you know we'll be running Lisp machines under our virtualization software. And then there's going to be a new remake of ADVENT and the Great Worm. And a new AI summer.
