## Goals / objectives ##
This workshop offers a general overview of virtualization technologies
with a series of practical labs, during which participants will:
* Create and manipulate virtual machines on the desktop using [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/).
* Create and manipulate virtual machines on the server using [KVM](http://www.linux-kvm.org/) and [libvirt](http://libvirt.org).
* Manipulate file and block based virtual images and work with live VM migration between hosts
* Create high availability virtualization server clusters using [Ganeti](https://code.google.com/p/ganeti/).
The workshop aims to provide participants with virtualization solutions using free software
and help them understand the different parts of a hypervisor, including storage management,
networking, memory management, as well as the different types of container technologies
(lightweight virtualization).
## Target audience ##
Systems and network administrators that want to know more about virtualization technologies
in general, and learn how to build high availability clusters.
## Pre-requisites ##
Basic knowledge of the UNIX command line and IP networking is required.
