Changes

There are many different computer platforms, and thus many different virtualization technologies. See [[wp:Comparison of platform virtualization software|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 ===[[wpFile:VirtualBoxKubernetes_logo_without_workmark.svg|thumb|right|VirtualBox80px|Kubernetes|link=Kubernetes]][[Kubernetes]] (Oracle) ===Base package is GPL licensedan open-source container-orchestration system for automating computer application deployment, scaling, and management. It's was originally designed by Google and is now controlled maintained by Oraclethe Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).* [[Virtualbox|VirtualBox]]

=== OpenStack ===[[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> === 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:VMware|VMwareLXC]]).  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. https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/try-it/ === VirtualBox (Oracle) ===The [[Virtualbox]] base package is GPL licensed. It's now controlled by Oracle. [[wp:VirtualBox]]  === VMWare (CiscoDell) ===* [[wp:VMware Player|]]* [[wp:VMware Player]]* [[wp:VMware Workstation|VMware Workstation]]

See [[wp:Physical-to-Virtual|Physical]] (often known as P2V). 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-Virtual]a Kubernetes YAML file].
