Security Benefits From OS Virtualization: Real or Virtual?
Overview Operating System (OS) virtualization allows businesses and individuals alike to use their available computer hardware resources much more efficiently and flexibly. This technology has become indispensable for many professional software developers and testers, allowing quick configuration of reference OS images that can be used in different contexts, often executing on the same computer. There are two main technological approaches to OS virtualization: standard and lightweight; lightweight further splits into containers and paravirtualization. Each approach has different architectural and run-time characteristics, hence different robustness of the isolation from the host OS.
