Mastering KVM Virtualization: Explore cutting-edge Linux KVM virtualization techniques to build robust virtualization solutions

The author does an excellent job in puttying theory to practice. Very well balanced. This book is on my A list...A very thorough work..

Excellent book!

This book was good for an introduction. However, I found myself wanting more. The Red Hat Documentation on KVM was used to augment my studies after reading this book.

The authors know their stuff, which is good. However, it is shocking that the "editor" could not be bothered to even run a spell-check on the book. A spell-check is the absolutely minimum before you commit a book to print. There is in the book a 20 in the middle of a wor20d <- like that!!! In addition, there are hundreds and hundreds of mistakes. In the command lines. Some are just silly and obvious, but others are headscratchers, and not so understandable. The writing style is very informal, which distracts the reader from the content. The last point of disappointment is that there is no big picture in many of the topics covered: why to do something a certain way, and what are the trade-offs between different technologies.

An excellent book on virtualization, I havent found any book which detail the internals and details of virtualization technology. A simple book to read, packed with practical trading knowledge you can use. You will learn a lot on KVM, Qemu, Libvirt..etc from this book. I recommend this book for everyone who use virtualization or want to learn about virtualization.

I read the whole book and found so much information on topics like KVM internal, Software Defined Networking, Ovirt, Openstack, Performance issues, V2V/P2V. I have never found a single book which covers all topics related to KVM. This book deserves more then 5 stars.

This is a must-have for those interested in open source virtualization. It's well written with easy examples and comprehensive architectures. Moreover, Humble Chirammal is one of the most skilled KVM, Kubernetes and Gluster hacker around. Simply the best KVM book I have read so far.

I was hoping for something more. Something that might provide some additional insight into how to master KVM. But this is just a basic KVM on Fedora Linux setup walkthrough.
