Open-Source Operating System and Virtual Machine

Introduction

• The use of open-source OS has been rampant
• It is applied in many businesses’ perspectives
• Technology is the key factor behind the innovation
• Advantages include speed, cost-efficacy, and security
• Disadvantages comprise difficulty in use and compatibility
• An example is Linux operating system

Benefits of Open-source OS

• It is agile and flexible to use
• Allows multiple functionalities at a given time
• Delivers values within the required time; hence, fast
• It is cost-effective since it allows scaling
• Using Open-source OS is secure due to coding ²
• It takes the latest version of configurations

Disadvantages of Open-source OS

• Open-source OS is difficult to use many times
• It lacks user-friendly interfaces that are common
• Compatibility is an issue due to drivers’ required
• Proprietary may have warrant issue leading to liability 1
• It has hidden costs that may inconvenience the user
• A company must weigh the benefits and challenges

Choosing Open-Source OS Over Others

• It enables users to modify without challenge
• The programmer has an access to all source codes
• There is a guarantee of control of data sets
• Open-source OS is better in terms of quality
• It serves the user’s needs more effectively than others
• There are rare occasions of system failures

Working Demo of My VM

• Virtual machines (VM) run on a central point
• There will be the use if ISO image as the priority
• The next step is cloning existing hardware
• Configuration of a hypervisor will follow
• The creation of a host OS will be important
• All that intends to ease the interaction between users

Challenges of Adopting a New VM

• This part focuses on training only
• VMs require skills to program and virtualize
• An example is the use of DRS while computing
• Personnel involved must be trained to bypass formulas
• There may be a negative impact if training is disregarded
• Therefore, Taters Inc. may have technicalities
