 Hello, I'd like to introduce you to my course
 here at INE called Virtualization

0:00:12.200000 --> 0:00:16.960000
 Fundamentals. My name is Keith Bogart
 and I will be your instructor during

0:00:16.960000 --> 0:00:18.740000
 the duration of these videos.

0:00:18.740000 --> 0:00:21.880000
 Should you have any questions that are
 unanswered in the course of these

0:00:21.880000 --> 0:00:25.320000
 video series here, please feel
 free to reach out to me.

0:00:25.320000 --> 0:00:27.960000
 You can see I've provided various
 ways of contacting me.

0:00:27.960000 --> 0:00:31.960000
 So let's get right out of the way
 first what the prerequisites are.

0:00:31.960000 --> 0:00:34.320000
 Basically, hardly anything.

0:00:34.320000 --> 0:00:39.660000
 So virtualization here is talking about
 the virtualization of machines,

0:00:39.660000 --> 0:00:44.620000
 like the virtualization of routers
 or computers or firewalls.

0:00:44.620000 --> 0:00:48.660000
 So clearly, those three things that I
 just mentioned, you should probably

0:00:48.660000 --> 0:00:50.980000
 have an idea of what they are.

0:00:50.980000 --> 0:00:54.560000
 You don't have to know any details about
 how this stuff works, but basically

0:00:54.560000 --> 0:00:57.280000
 just an understanding of basic
 computer architecture.

0:00:57.280000 --> 0:01:03.400000
 I'm going to be using terms like
 CPU, RAM, hard disk drive.

0:01:03.400000 --> 0:01:07.400000
 And if you know what those things are,
 you're good to go and you'll understand

0:01:07.400000 --> 0:01:09.220000
 everything else that
 I have to say.

0:01:09.220000 --> 0:01:13.520000
 So let's talk a little bit about what
 this course is going to cover.

0:01:13.520000 --> 0:01:17.080000
 So this course as a title is
 virtualization fundamentals.

0:01:17.080000 --> 0:01:21.760000
 So my goal is to introduce you to the
 concepts of virtualization as it

0:01:21.760000 --> 0:01:24.020000
 applies to virtual
 machine technology.

0:01:24.020000 --> 0:01:29.020000
 So I'm assuming that you know absolutely
 nothing about virtual machines

0:01:29.020000 --> 0:01:30.480000
 or virtualization technology.

0:01:30.480000 --> 0:01:35.120000
 And my goal is to expose you to some
 of the basic concepts of it, some

0:01:35.120000 --> 0:01:37.980000
 of the basic terminology, and even give
 you a little thing that you can

0:01:37.980000 --> 0:01:42.300000
 practice on your own for free to get
 some hands-on experience with this.

0:01:42.300000 --> 0:01:53.540000
 I'm also going to explain the benefits and
 challenges of machine virtualization.

0:01:53.540000 --> 0:01:57.560000
 And I'm going to give you a demonstration
 of virtualization throughout

0:01:57.560000 --> 0:01:59.900000
 peppered throughout these videos.

0:01:59.900000 --> 0:02:04.500000
 So if learning about the fundamentals
 of virtualization is something that

0:02:04.500000 --> 0:02:07.640000
 interests you, let's get going
 and start with this course.
