This comprehensive Linux virtualization and container technologies guide demonstrates:

  • Advanced KVM hypervisor development and virtual machine management
  • Custom container runtime implementation with full namespace and cgroup support
  • Advanced security configurations including capabilities, seccomp, and user namespaces
  • Resource management and monitoring for both VMs and containers
  • Production-ready build and test automation

The implementations showcase real-world virtualization techniques used in modern cloud platforms and container orchestration systems.
