MUUG Meeting, Tuesday, Mar 7, 7:30pm (Date Change, In-person Meeting) -- KVM without a GUI
by MUUG meeting announcements 28 Feb '23

28 Feb '23

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting IN PERSON, on Tuesday, March 7th, at 7:30pm. Yes, that's a week early, i.e. the FIRST Tuesday of the month... KVM without a GUI - Have you lost your head? Linux KVM (Kernel-Based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux, using hardware accelerated virtualization extensions to provide near physical performance. New users of KVM may find the command line interface daunting and difficult to understand. Even the majority of KVM tutorials online rely on the GUI to do the initial installation and setup of your virtual machines, but what if we don't have a GUI? As Linux admins, we are accustomed to doing most of our work in a remote terminal, most of our servers don't even have a keyboard or monitor plugged in, and are located in remote data centers. In this presentation, Wyatt Zacharias will present the basics of how to use the KVM command line tools to create and setup a new virtual machine from scratch. Where to find the Meeting: Fortress Software Inc., 350 Keewatin St -- Unit #2 We have a new in-person meeting location now!
