Appendix

Virtualization tools

In this section, we will look at several widely available open source and commercial tools that implement different forms of processor virtualization. This information may be useful as a starting point the next time you initiate a project involving virtualization.

VirtualBox

VirtualBox is a free, open source type-2 hypervisor from Oracle Corporation. Supported host operating systems include Windows and several Linux distributions. One or more guest operating systems on a single host can simultaneously run Windows, macOS, Solaris, Open Solaris, and a variety of Linux distributions.
