Virtualization Technologies
The intent of the Virtualization Technologies Knowledge Unit is to provide students with an understanding of how modern host virtualization is implemented, deployed, and used. Students will understand the interfaces between major components of virtualized systems, and the implications these interfaces have for security.
Topics
- Networking in virtual environments
- Describe the fundamental concepts of virtualization.
- Virtualization Architectures
- Describe the fundamental concepts of virtualization
- Compare and contrast the different virtualization architectures.
- Digital Forensics in virtual environments
- Scheduling of virtual machines
Outcomes
- Describe the fundamental concepts of virtualization.
- Compare and contrast the different virtualization architectures.
