Ecosystem of Virtualization Technologies

Virtualization technology, which forms the infrastructure of data centers and cloud technology, is constantly evolving. The process that started with machine virtualization has turned into taking applications into containers and virtualizing applications. Virtualization aims at efficient use of hardware by sharing resources. Today, hypervisor and container based virtualization approach are widely used. Powerful servers that are physically operated thanks to hypervisor platforms are operated by installing different operating systems according to the need. When virtual machines use all the resources of the operating system on which they run, the container is shared only with the kernel of the operating system on which it is located. Thus, it offers faster and more services using fewer system resources. Container technology is widely used to operate data centers with minimum energy consumption and maximum business capacity with an environmentally friendly approach that is becoming widespread today. The ecosystem of virtualization and container technologies that constitute the infrastructure of cloud computing is presented in our study.
