Comparison of virtual machines using different virtualization technologies on linux platform / Mohd Khairil Mohd Appandi

In computing, virtualization involves the process of presenting computing resources whereby users and applications can easily get value out of them, rather than presenting them in a way dictated by their implementation, geographic location, or physical packaging. In other words, it provides a logica...
