CUISPA 2010 - Virtualization Workshop Slides

This is the slide deck that I used for the virtualization workshop. The actual discussion was much more open-ended in terms of audience participation. The slides are good references for a few things that were talked about. Other topics included the benefits of virtualizing a 'one of' where the ratio is one hypervisor to one guest. We also went over the order of what systems to virtualize when, both from a production support and security standpoint.

There's a fairly new website called Foursquare. It is a free site that allows people to publish their physical location via twitter. The idea is you can tell the world you are at the movies and perhaps catch up with friends who are also in the area. Do you see where this is going yet?
