Virtualization
The best of both worlds with Hypervisor and OS Virtualization
Most of you are familiar with this picture – it represents parallels solution stack and in this session I’m going to cover majority of what you see on this slides.
First I’d like to start with automation – this is really where significant efforts of our engineering organiation are focused today. Specifically we’ll start with Parallels Operation Automation.

11. PSBM – Command Line Tools
Unified CLI
pctl create ID
pctl migrate ID
pctl backup ID
Simple wrapper to forward the request
non-modified PVC tools
non-modified PS tools
Parallels Virtuozzo Containers CLI
vzctl create ct_id
vzmigrate ct_id
vzbackup ct_id
Parallels Server CLI
prlctl create vm_id
prlctl migrate vm_id
prlctl backup vm_id
YES NO
Is it VM?
All PVC CLI Tools Remain the Same
All 3 Tools can be used simultaneously
Unified CLI is ONE utility for ALL operations

12. PSBM – Single Management API
XML API allows management of both VMs and Containers
PVC management remains the Same
VM management is Similar to Container one
Packet to start VM:
<packet>
<target>vzpenvm</target>
<data>
<vzpenvm>
<start>
<eid>b452f2aa-21c c3d757605ace</eid>
</start>
</vzpenvm>
</data>
</packet>
