Perfect lightweight linux distro for vms

#Perfect lightweight linux distro for vms pro

Just spin up a VM, let it pxe boot and go. You want to deploy many linux distros rapidly on a vm host server on multiple vlans all with a gui? I can understand what you want to do, but why? How will you use these many linux VMs? If you needed to do this quickly I would use a netboot configuration without any local hard drive. What is your end goal here with this solution? It takes almost no effort to deploy a new VM from a template (unless you are deploying multiple VMs during one session). But really how many new VMs do you expect to deploy per week where this will add value? I would think working on your golden image, converting it to a template and then deploying new VMs from your template is where you should focus some time and effort. Understanding the fundamentals is important before you look into deployment tools (because the tools have to follow the rules of the underlying hypervisor). (Edit: just thougt of a third way (unix world) methodology where you would simply add a new disk and then mount that disk over a current directory after moving the files to that new disk)ДЇor enterprise cloud support you really need to understand what arch your cloud provider is (AWS, Azure, etc) to know where/how to start focusing there.ДЄs for the deploy VMs, I would go with the PowerCLI scripting first before you look at any automated tool. (I'm not going to explain much more since you need to understand why and when to use each). One method is pretty easy the other is a bit harder but maintains a monolithic VM. just add another disk to the lvm pool) and one using the 'virtual world' methodology (expand the existing vmdk and lvm). There are two ways to go about addressing this (one using the 'physical world' methodology (i.e. This is a real (IT) world issue that you will run into. I would go back to your original problem and solve that. recently I had inordinate amount of difficulty trying expand out the VMDK for a 2 GB CentOS, which made me reconsider it as a choice for this. Or maybe, since I am definitely using VMware vSphere, I should just script the the deployment with PowerCLI? Is there a DevOps (CI/CD) tool that I could use to deploy this VM.maybe Ansible? Or perhaps Chef, Puppet, SaltStack, etc? I have never really used any of them TBH, but would love to learn. I am not familiar enough with containers to know if they would or would not work with this, but I'm certainly open to the idea. Also deploying Linux VM on the Dell PCs via VMware Workstation

Mac Pro 1.1 running ESXi 6.0 w/ vCSA 6.7 pfSense router acting as RoaS ('router on a stick') for the VLAN routing 8-port Cisco Catalyst switch running my VLANs (not layer3 interVLAN routing capable) So I should expand upon my goals and my lab setup here: Might be nice to have a GUI if it's something lightweight like XFCE.? I am not super great with Linux CLI work just yet (but I'm working on it!) Needs to just use DHCP to grab an IP (multiple VLANs and IP schemes will be used). I may also deploy it out to 2 desktops running VMware workstation. Deploy it about a dozen times (at least) on my ESXi host.

Create a 'golden' VM that is 2 GBs in size or smaller and can run on 1 GB of RAM or less and 1 vCPU. In the past I have typically used CentOS Minimal (no GUI) for this, but recently I had inordinate amount of difficulty trying expand out the VMDK for a 2 GB CentOS, which made me reconsider it as a choice for this.but that's another topic entirely. Hey guys, I want to deploy about a dozen or so small, lightweight VMs in my home lab to test and lab out various scenarios.
