[ale] [ANNC] ALE-NW @ SPSU MTG. for Thurs., Apr 10, 7:30pm

[JD]

Mark your calendars for next Thursday!

Topic: 		Linux Virtualization w/ KVM + virt-manager
Date:  		4/10 @ 7:30p – 9:30p-ish
Where: 		SPSU J-202
Presenter: 	JD P.
Directions:	http://ale.org/?page_id=506 (which include details
                once on-campus)


Abstract:
====
This will be a hands-on demonstration starting with a VERY quick overview of KVM
virtualization capabilities, performance options, and setup, then move to an
interactive installation onto a basic server configured with just ssh, minimal
GUI and nothing else.
Bring a vt-x/amd-v capable Linux system, wired ethernet port (NOT WiFi) and
follow along. We will setup a bridge, install kvm, virt-manager and setup a few
VMs on the local machine.

Ubuntu 14.04 Beta Server (RC1-ish) will be used for the hostOS.


Preparation to follow along:
 1) Check for vmx or svm support inside /proc/cpuinfo – verify
    system HW virtualization capability.
 2) DO NOT have other virtualization installed – no VirtualBox or
    VMware. Bad things can happen if there is a conflict. Dual boot
    is fine with just 10G of storage for this OS.

Driving tips to bypass much of Cobb traffic, in heavy traffic, mostly just stay
in the right lanes from I-285 to S.Loop, only moving left when the exits force
it.  There is a g-maps link in the directions to the parking garage entrance.
