Virtualisation get Embedded

Virtualisation_and_hypervisors_aid_embedded_design

Virtualisation, hypervisors, and separation kernels have generated considerable buzz in both the enterprise and embedded marketplaces.

However, these same technologies also can play an instrumental role in other environments requiring elements of security, such as those found in the industrial, medical, and financial services areas. What these environments have in common is a need to share some common data, applications, or functions, while leaving other, more critical applications and functions (or data with a higher sensitivity) under virtual lock and key.

JumpBox on Amazon EC2

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

https://www.jumpbox.com/node/1240

You can now run JumpBoxes on Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). Amazon EC2 can be thought of as a big virtualization system in the internet cloud that you pay for by the hour. So instead of running a JumpBox on your hardware you use Amazon’s hardware and just pay for what you need.

There are four beta JumpBox AMIs:

  • JumpBox for MediaWiki - AMI: ami-71ab4f18
  • JumpBox for Wordpress - AMI: ami-0eb45067
  • JumpBox for Movable Type - AMI: ami-6aac4803
  • JumpBox for Bugzilla - AMI: ami-70ab4f19

These are currently available as public AMIs on the Amazon system so if you have an Amazon EC2 account you should be able to launch them using any tool that can launch EC2 instances. If you don’t have an Amazon EC2 account you can easily signup for one using any Amazon account.

http://VirtualAppliances.net/downloads/

VirtualAppliances.net appliances feature an upgrade to their base distribution, using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server Edition, which will be supported by Canonical until 2013.

All of the 32 bit Appliances are using Ubuntu JeOS (Just enough Operating System) which provides a kernel optimized for virtual appliance use.

VMware OVF (Open Virtual appliance Format) images are now available for VMware ESX and ESXi in both 32 bit and 64 bit versions.
