Techopedia explains Virtualization Management
Virtualization management is primarily done from a virtual machine manager (VMM) application / utility. The primary goal of virtualization management is to ensure that virtual machines deliver services and perform computing operations as expected.
Typically, virtualization management may include processes such as:
- Creation, deletion and modification of virtual machines, virtual networks and/or the entire virtualization infrastructure.
- Ensures that all virtual machine software / hypervisors are up to date along with the installed OS and/or application.
- Establish and maintain network connectivity / interconnectivity across the virtualization environment.
- Monitor and manage performance of each virtual machine and/or virtualization environment in whole.
