Virtualization

Virtualization Essentials is a hands‑on course that teaches students how to run multiple operating systems and workloads on a single physical machine using hypervisors, virtual machines, and virtualized storage and networking; learners build real skills by creating VMs, managing snapshots, configuring resource allocation, comparing Type 1 and Type 2 hypervisors, and understanding how virtualization improves scalability, efficiency, uptime, and disaster recovery, giving them a solid foundation for modern IT, cloud computing, and advanced infrastructure courses.
