An architectural deep dive into Windows 11's WSL2, explaining the utility VM, the 9P protocol for cross-OS file access, and how to manage memory boundaries via .wslconfig.
Learn how to choose and configure Vagrant synced folders, comparing NFS, SMB, and VirtualBox shared folders to optimize I/O performance and security.
Learn how to perform zero-downtime VM live migrations in Proxmox VE using shared storage, including CPU compatibility checks and recovery steps for stalled transfers.
When migrating a powered-on virtual machine between ESXi hosts in a vSphere environment, the final memory synchronization phase involves a brief period where the VM is paused, known as the stun period. For small applications with strict latency requirements, this pause can potentially trigger application-level timeouts or disconnects. The duration of this st
Live Migration of a small application VM with RDMA enabled I am planning to move a small application running in a Hyper-V VM between two hosts using Live Migration, with the goal of no perceptible downtime for users. The research available to me confirms that Live Migration is a documented zero-downtime feature, and that RDMA (SMB Direct) can be used to spee
Running Rocky 9.3, attempting to get a bridge for a public Range of IPs for use with Virtual machines. Same hardware used to run Centos 7.8 machine with it all working, am now trying to set it up the same with Rocky 9.3 # /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-brpub0 (pointopoint, Hetzner Standard) DEVICE=brpub0 ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Bridge BOOTPROTO=none IPADDR=xxx
Enabling Client Hyper-V on Windows 8 Pro or Enterprise causes the type-1 hypervisor to load during the boot process. This architecture results in the system reserving a specific portion of physical RAM for the root partition to manage virtualization tasks, regardless of whether any virtual machines are actively running. The amount of memory available to the
Proxmox VE hosts using ZFS for storage rely on the Adaptive Replacement Cache for read caching. By default ARC can consume a large share of host RAM, which creates tension with memory allocated to VMs and containers. The goal is to select an ARC limit that preserves guest memory availability while retaining ZFS read performance. There is no single documented
When updating the Vagrant installation on a host machine, the system must reconcile the existing guest states defined in the Vagrantfile with the new version's provider API. While vagrant reload typically applies configuration changes to active guests, the behavior differs when guests are not in a running state. There is uncertainty regarding how Vagrant man
