Operating System [OS] Virtualization
Virtualizing a physical server at the operating system level enables
multiple isolated and secure virtualized servers to run on a single
physical server.
The guest OS environments share the same OS as the host system
– i.e. the same OS kernel is used to implement the guest environments.
Applications running in a given guest environment view it as a
stand-alone system.
Examples include: Linux-VServer, Virtuozzo (for Windows or Linux),
OpenVZ, Solaris Containers, and FreeBSD Jails.
