Let’s Build A Windows Virtual Machine

reating a virtual machine (VM), a computer you can use without needing to purchase, set up, or keep around, is one of the most basic functions of the cloud.  You can rent as many computers as you need and delete them when you’re done with them. But VMs are only a benefit if setting up a virtual machine is easy.  In Google Cloud, creating a VM is done with the Compute Engine service.  There’s a short (about 5 minutes) interactive tutorial to get you started.  I’ll explain what’s going on in that tutorial here, but you should walk through the tutorial as well to…

Hail Hydra: Kill Snowflake Servers So The Cloud Can Take Their Place

High-availability, auto-scaling, self-healing cloud infrastructure is as resilient as the many-headed Hydra of Greek myth. Make the most of it by using containers. According to Greek mythology, if you were to venture to a certain lake in Lerna, you’d find the many-headed hydra, a serpentine water monster that carries the secret to modern cloud architecture. Why? The thing is hard to kill, much like you want your cloud infrastructure to be. You cut one head off, and it grows two more. In the myth, even mighty Hercules needed help shutting down the resilient beast. Yet in the world of IT…

Extending Anthos To Manage On-Premises Edge VMs: Now Generally Available

We are pleased to announce general availability of virtual machine (VM) support in Anthos. VM support is available on Anthos for bare metal (now known as Google Distributed Cloud Virtual). Customers can now run VMs alongside containers on a single, unified, Google Cloud-connected platform in their data center or at the edge. With VM support in Anthos, developers and operations teams can run VMs alongside containers on shared cloud-native infrastructure. VM support in Anthos lets you achieve consistent container and VM operations with Kubernetes-style declarative configuration and policy enforcement, self-service deployment, observability and monitoring, all from the familiar Google Cloud…

There Is No Upside To VM Colocation

Posted on July 13, 2022 Guest post originally published on the Clockwork blog TL;DR: Contrary to expectation, colocated VMs do not enjoy lower-latency connectivity to each other On network links between colocated VMs, packet drops are just as likely as on non-colocated links For maximum cloud system performance, VM colocation should be avoided In the previous blog of this series, we discussed how cloud providers’ VM placement algorithms end up creating multiple VMs on the same physical machine, and how the resulting VM colocation can impair network bandwidth. In this second blog post, we investigate the impact of VM colocation on…

How Garbage Collection Works Inside A Java Virtual Machine

Understanding how Java handles memory isn’t always necessary, but it can help you envision how the JVM deals with your variables and class instances. Automatic Garbage Collection (GC) is one of the most important features that makes Java so popular. This article explains why GC is essential. It includes automatic and generational GC, how the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) divides heap memory, and finally, how GC works inside the JVM. Java memory allocation Java memory is divided into four sections: Heap: The memory for object instances is allocated in the heap. When the object declaration is made, there won’t be…

Is There A Limit To Cloud VMs? A Conversation

We published another episode of “VM End to End,” which is a series of curated conversations between a “VM skeptic” and a “VM enthusiast”. Every episode, join Brian, Carter, and a special guest as they explore why VMs are some of Google’s most trusted and reliable offerings, and how VMs benefit companies operating at scale in the cloud. Here is a transcript of the episode: Carter Morgan: Welcome to another episode of VM End to End, a show where you have someone a little skeptical of VMs and someone a little more enthusiastic about them on the show to hash…

Introducing Compute Optimized VMs Powered By AMD EPYC Processors

Over the last six months, we launched 3rd Gen AMD EPYC™ CPUs (formerly code-named “Milan”) across our Compute Engine virtual machine (VM) families. We introduced the Tau VM family, targeting scale-out workloads. Tau VMs are the leader both in terms of performance and workload total cost of ownership (TCO) from any leading provider available today. We also refreshed our general-purpose N2D instances with 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors, providing a 30% boost in price-performance. Today, we’re excited to announce the General Availability of the newest instance series in our Compute Optimized family, C2D, also powered by 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors. “AMD EPYC processors…

Protecting Customers Against Cryptomining Threats With VM Threat Detection In Security Command Center

As organizations move to the cloud, VM-based architectures continue to make up a significant portion of compute-centric workloads. To help ensure strong protection for these deployments, we are thrilled to announce a public preview of our newest layer of threat detection in Security Command Center (SCC): Virtual Machine Threat Detection (VMTD). VMTD is a first-to-market detection capability from a major cloud provider that provides agentless memory scanning to help detect threats like cryptomining malware inside your virtual machines running in Google Cloud. The economy of scale enabled by the cloud can help fundamentally change the way security is executed for…

Convert Your Windows Install Into A VM On Linux

Here’s how I configured a VirtualBox VM to use a physical Windows drive on my Linux workstation. I use VirtualBox frequently to create virtual machines for testing new versions of Fedora, new application programs, and lots of administrative tools like Ansible. I have even used VirtualBox to test the creation of a Windows guest host. Never have I ever used Windows as my primary operating system on any of my personal computers or even in a VM to perform some obscure task that cannot be done with Linux. I do, however, volunteer for an organization that uses one financial program…
