Speedlinking #705 - Monitoring, Security and more VPCs
Old Content, Speedlinking March 2nd, 2007Ugh, what a week, definitely time for another speedlink post. Here is a list of posts I thought were interesting this week:
- The Orcas March CTP VPC is available for download at 6 Gb
- New Exchange rebasing tool in a VM — It’s great to see ready to run VHDs getting some traction
- Interesting security posts for Virtual Server: Virtual Server security; Improving security with virtual machine log file monitoring and Examining the compromised Virtual Server 2005 host
- Ben Armstrong has post an update to the HP ProLiant Server Sizer for Virtual Server 2005 R2
- Tony Soper has done a nice roundup of resources for the Microsoft Virtualization Strategy — The items are platform, management, applications, interoperability and licensing from Mike Neil’s post
- Virtual switch security- VMware, Virtual Server and XenExpress – Now this was very interesting from Chris Wolf. Armed with Wireshark and some curiosity checks out the default network isolation of VMware Server, Virtual Server and XEN
- Lastly, a thought provoking discussion, Does-virtualization-makes-monitoring-obsolete — No commentary for this one, just read the article :)
The last two post are recommend reading, and I’ll mostly likely post back on these two with more info.
