Implementing Virtualization on a Linux Server (XK0-006)

This lab aligns to CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-006) exam objective 1.7: Summarize virtualization on Linux systems.

By the end of this lab, you will be able to:

  • Describe the role of Linux hypervisors and the advantages of virtualization on Linux systems.
  • Create and configure a virtual machine using QEMU/KVM from the command line.
  • Implement virtualization using the Virtual Machine Manager (virt-manager) graphical interface. 

Overview

Welcome to the Implementing Virtualization on a Linux Server lab. In this lab, you will explore Linux virtualization using both command-line and graphical tools. You will read about the core concepts behind Linux hypervisors, virtual machines, and network types before applying those concepts hands-on. You will create a virtual machine using QEMU from the terminal on an Ubuntu system, then use virt-manager on AlmaLinux to provision a second virtual machine through a graphical wizard. By the end of this lab, you will be able to implement virtualization on a Linux device using both interfaces.

You will complete the following 2 activities in this lab:

  • Reading Assignment – Introduction to Linux Virtualization
  • Exercise 1 – Implementing Virtualization on a Linux Device
