Line 3: Line 3:
While trying to get my hands on a physical book on kvm based virtualization I found that there was no such book. I wanted to start using kvm, since my server ran so many different services, that they eventually began to get in the way for each other. But finding a really good beginners guide was hard, hence my decision to start this site. The main goal is to go as close to no downtime as possible.
Line 5: Line 5:
I call the site uptime. The whole idea about this setup is to get as high an uptime as possible. Other goals like security and speed will also be considered, but the main focus is on getting the best possible uptime. == These are our worst foes ==

 * Power outage
 * Internet access
 * Hardware malfunction
 * Software updates

To get around this a redundant system has to be built. Realizing that a redundant system consists of many redundant parts, virtualization naturally comes to mind.

== Configure your system ==

 * [[KVM Host|KVM Host]]
 * [[KVM Guest|KVM Guest]]
