[[wp: | There are many different computer platforms, and thus many different virtualization technologies. See [[wp:Comparison of platform virtualization software]] for a comprehensive list. We will be focusing on current, non-proprietary, mainstream projects so not FreeBSD jails, or Parallels Desktop for Mac | ||

=== [[ | === Kubernetes === | ||
[[File:Kubernetes_logo_without_workmark.svg|thumb|right|80px|Kubernetes|link=Kubernetes]][[Kubernetes]] is an open-source container-orchestration system for automating computer application deployment, scaling, and management. It was originally designed by Google and is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). | |||
=== [[wp: | === OpenStack === | ||
* [[wp:VMware | [[File:Openstack-logo-full.svg|thumb|right|150px|OpenStack|link=https://openstack.org]] OpenStack is a set of software components that provide common services for cloud infrastructure. There are many [https://www.openstack.org/software/project-navigator/openstack-components components]. Within OpenStack, there is an API service called Magnum which "makes container orchestration engines such as Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, and Apache Mesos available as first class resources in OpenStack."<ref>https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Magnum</ref> | ||
* [[wp: | |||
Using [[Ansible]] for automation, there is a project called [https://osism.tech OSISM] ([https://osism.tech/docs/ docs]) that provides a "cloud in a box" platform for private clouds. | |||
=== Linux containers === | |||
Infrastructure for container projects. Sponsored by Canonical. https://linuxcontainers.org is the umbrella project behind [https://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/introduction/ LXC], LXD and LXCFS. (See [[wp:LXC]]). | |||
Linux containers are implementations of operating system-level virtualization for the Linux operating system. Several implementations exist, all based on the virtualization, isolation, and resource management mechanisms provided by the Linux kernel, notably Linux namespaces and cgroups. [[Docker]] is an example, although it no longer uses LXC as it's default execution environment. [[Podman]] is another example. | |||
The goal is to offer a distro and vendor neutral environment for the development of Linux container technologies. | |||
Our main focus is system containers. That is, containers which offer an environment as close as possible as the one you'd get from a VM but without the overhead that comes with running a separate kernel and simulating all the hardware. | |||

=== VirtualBox (Oracle) === | |||
The [[Virtualbox]] base package is GPL licensed. It's now controlled by Oracle. [[wp:VirtualBox]] | |||

There are many tools in the virtualization space for converting from one format to another. For example, [https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/translate-compose-kubernetes/ translating from a docker-compose.yml file to a Kubernetes YAML file]. | |||
