Summary
In this chapter, we covered the basics of virtualization and its different types. Keeping in mind the importance of virtualization in today's large-scale IT world is beneficial as it's good to know how these concepts can be tied together to create a bigger picture – large, virtualized environments and cloud environments. Cloud-based technologies will be covered later in much greater detail – treat what we've mentioned so far as a starter; the main course is still to come. But the next chapter belongs to the main star of our book – the KVM hypervisor and its related utilities.
