Virtualization Techniques for Efficient Resource Management in Cloud Computing
Abstract
Virtualization is a fundamental technology that enables efficient utilization of computing resources in cloud environments. This paper examines different virtualization techniques, including full virtualization, para-virtualization, and container-based virtualization. The study evaluates their impact on system performance, scalability, and energy efficiency. A comparative analysis demonstrates that container-based virtualization provides lightweight deployment and faster execution, while traditional virtual machines offer stronger isolation and security. The paper concludes that selecting appropriate virtualization methods is essential for optimizing cloud infrastructure performance.
