Boot a VM in 3 Seconds - Firecracker
I have been reading about simple, fast, programmatic virtual machines. First, I learned Ubuntu Multipass (full-fat but quick-to-deploy VMs) and then moved on to Firecracker. If you have ever used or written an AWS serverless function, the function runs on a short-lived VM that uses Firecracker technology.
Navigating the Modern Virtualization & Container Landscape
The data center is evolving faster than ever. Traditional virtualization platforms remain the backbone of enterprise IT, but container technologies are reshaping how applications are developed, deployed and scaled. For most organizations, the future isn't virtualization vs. containers — it's finding the right balance between the two.

Hyper-V - VM Creations Lab
In this lab, we will walk through the process of creating a Hyper-V virtual machine. The lab will guide you through selecting the VM's configuration, such as allocating memory, assigning virtual processors, and creating a virtual hard disk. We will then show how to choose the installation method, such as using an ISO image, to install the operating system.
Getting Started with Microsoft Hyper-V
Hyper-V: Microsoft's Virtualization Platform
Hyper-V is a hardware virtualization tool from Microsoft that allows users to create and manage virtual machines (VMs) on a single system. It helps optimize resource use, run legacy software, test applications across multiple platforms, and improve IT efficiency with features like isolated environments for enhanced security.
Available on Windows and Windows Server, Hyper-V supports Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD as guest operating systems. It offers key benefits like better resource management and security, but has limitations with hardware-dependent or latency-sensitive applications. Overall, Hyper-V is a powerful solution for efficient, scalable virtualization.
