SUSE Labs Conference 2019 - Giant VM: I just want to use one huge VM!
Channel: SUSE Labs
Date: 19/09/2019

None

Virtualization is mostly used to provide multiple environments on one single machine, especially in a cloud scenario. However, sometimes customers may just want to use one VM on the host! Liang will share two such customer cases based on his experience, and introduce best practices to optimize the VM to match closely the host.

In the first case, the focus is on Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) for carrying over legacy system to a newer hardware.

In the second case, the focus is on overall performance and ease of deployment.

The challenges include VDI on legacy system, heavy resource usage (CPU, IO), benchmarking, CPU affinity, NUMA, device Passthrough, userspace driver when facing just one Giant VM.

The listener will see a novel way to use QEMU, and will get hold of best practices to deal with the challenges of Giant VM.
