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.
