Virtualization Technologies and Architectures - Definitive Reference for Developers and Engineers

Richard Johnson.

Sinossi

"Virtualization Technologies and Architectures""Virtualization Technologies and Architectures" presents an in-depth, authoritative exploration of the principles, architectures, and evolving paradigms that define modern virtualization and its pivotal role in today’s IT landscape. Beginning with a historical foundation, the book systematically traces the development of virtualization—from its origins in mainframe partitioning to its central position in contemporary enterprise and cloud computing. Readers are introduced to essential concepts, terminology, and a comprehensive taxonomy of virtualization, establishing a strong baseline for understanding the rationale, efficiency, security, and flexibility that virtualization brings to computing environments.With a technical yet accessible approach, the book delves into the architectural nuances of virtual machines, hypervisors, and containers, detailing their designs, resource management strategies, and the mechanisms that ensure robust isolation and security. Specialized chapters examine state-of-the-art topics such as hardware-assisted virtualization, network and storage virtualization, and the contrasting approaches of full and paravirtualization. The work further investigates the intricacies of OS-level virtualization technologies, including containers and microVMs, uncovering the underlying Linux kernel primitives, orchestration systems like Kubernetes, and emergent models for lightweight and secure computation.Beyond core technologies, this comprehensive volume addresses critical operational aspects such as performance optimization, dynamic resource allocation, and the orchestration and automation of virtualized infrastructure. Advanced discussions cover security threat modeling, side-channel defenses, compliance best practices, and cutting-edge trends shaping the future—including confidential computing, serverless architectures, virtualization at the edge, and sustainable infrastructure designs. "Virtualization Technologies and Architectures" is an indispensable resource for architects, engineers, and technology leaders seeking a holistic and forward-looking understanding of the virtualized world.

Black Holes - The Key to...

Professor Brian Cox, Professor...

By the star physicist and author of multiple #1 Sunday Times bestsellers, a major and definitive narrative work on black holes and how they can help us understand the universe.
At the heart of our galaxy lies a monster so deadly it can bend space, throwing vast jets of radiation millions of light years out into the cosmos. Its kind were the very first inhabitants of the universe, the black holes.
Today, across the universe, at the heart of every galaxy, and dotted throughout, mature black holes are creating chaos. And in a quiet part of the universe, the Swift satellite has picked up evidence of a gruesome death caused by one of these dark powers. High energy X-ray flares shooting out from deep within the Draco constellation are thought to be the dying cries of a white dwarf star being ripped apart by the intense tides of a supermassive black hole – heating it to millions of degrees as it is shredded at the event horizon.
They have the power to wipe out any of the universe’s other inhabitants, but no one has ever seen a black hole itself die. But 1.8 billion light years away, the LIGO instruments have recently detected something that could be the closest a black hole gets to death. Gravitational waves given off as two enormous black holes merge together. And now scientists think that these gravitational waves could be evidence of two black holes connecting to form a wormhole – a link through space and time. It seems outlandish, but today’s physicists are daring to think the unthinkable – that black holes could connect us to another universe.
At their very heart, black holes are also where Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity is stretched in almost unimaginable ways, revealing black holes as the key to our understanding of the fundamentals of our universe and perhaps all other universes.
Join Professors Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw in exploring our universe’s most mysterious inhabitants, how they are formed, why they are essential components of every galaxy, including our own, and what secrets they still hold, waiting to be discovered.
