Nested Enterprise Virtualization with OVirt 3.2

In the virtualization field, It's time to add an another virtualization layer to run Vm's into Vm's. 
And that was very awaited project. and finally fulfilled by oVirt 3.2 It's really A good achievement from Open source to create a great Cloud. Here are the steps, How to enable nested Enterprise Virtualization with oVirt 3.2

 Steps to enable Nested Virtualization in ovirt 3.2:- 
1. Obviously the first step is to install oVirt Engine 3.2 on Fedora 18 thru the official oVirt repositories. http://ovirt.org/releases/ovirt-release-fedora.noarch.rpm

 2. Then we add a Fedora 18 node here on this node install the vdsm daemon, joined by the vdsm-hook-nestedvt.noarch package which is actually the one that makes this little black magic trick work.

 3. Don't forget to enable the KVM nested virtualization.
4. How to enable nested Virualization.

 # echo “options kvm-intel nested=1 “/etc/modprobe.d/kvm-intel.conf
# modprobe -r kvm-intel 
# modprobe kvm-intel nested=1 

 Here is the list of  packages involved in this experiment: 

 Kernel: 3.7.9 – 201.fc18.x86_64
Libvirt: libvirt-0.10.2.3-1.fc18
Vdsm: vdsm-4.10.3-8.fc18
Vdsm-hook-nestedvt.noarch-4.10.3-8.fc18

LINUX CONTAINERS

LINUX CONTAINERS What is Linux Container:  Linux containers have different approach than the Virtualization technology. Simply we can say this is OS level Virtualization, which means all containers run on top of one linux operating system.  We can start containers on a hardware running machine or inside of running virtual machine. Each container run's as a fully isolated operating sysem. In container virtualization rather than having an entire Operating System guest OS, containers isolate the guest but do not virtualize the hardware. For running containers one needs a patched kernel and user tools, the kernel provides process isolation and performs resource management. Thus all containers are running under the same kernel but they still have their own file system, processes, memory etc. Linux based containers mainly involved with two concepts: 1. Namespaces 2. Cgroups ( Controll Groups) There are total 6 types of Namespaces: 1. PID Na...

Docker Container Management from Cockpit

Cockpit can manage containers via docker. This functionality is present in the Cockpit docker package. Cockpit communicates with docker via its API via the /var/run/docker.sock unix socket. The docker API is root equivalent, and on a properly configured system, only root can access the docker API. If the currently logged in user is not root then Cockpit will try to escalate the user’s privileges via Polkit or sudo before connecting to the socket. Alternatively, we can create a docker Unix group. Anyone in that docker group can then access the docker API, and gain root privileges on the system. [root@rhel8 ~] #  yum install cockpit-docker    -y  Once the package installed then "containers" section would be added in the dashboard and we can manage the containers and images from the console. We can search or pull an image from docker hub just by searching with the keyword like nginx centos.   Once the Image download...
