15 | IPFire bringt einige Frontend-Treiber für High-Performance-Virtualisierung | |
16 | mit sich und arbeitet hervorragend als Gast auf den folgenden | |
17 | Virtualisierungsplattformen. | |
18 | </p> | |
19 | ||
20 | <h2>Unterstützte Hypervisoren</h2> | |
21 | <h3>KVM</h3> | |
22 | <p> | |
23 | <a href="http://www.linux-kvm.org">KVM</a> ist die Abkürzung | |
24 | für Kernel-based Virtual Machine und wird von | |
25 | <a href="http://www.redhat.com">Red Hat Inc.</a> entwickelt. | |
2e9b1f32 | 26 | Es ist die derzeit am häufigsten eingesetzte, freie Virtualisierungslösung |
60024cc8 MT |
27 | und löst Xen zunehmend ab. |
28 | </p> | |
29 | <p> | |
30 | Der IPFire-Kernel verfügt über die <em>virtio</em> Module, | |
31 | welche hervorragende Leistung bei wenig Virtualisierungsoverhead | |
32 | bieten. | |
33 | </p> | |
34 | ||
35 | <h3>VMware</h3> | |
36 | <p> | |
37 | IPFire arbeitet auf verschiedenen VMware Produkten wie | |
38 | <em>vSphere</em>, <em>ESXi</em> und <em>VMware workstation</em>. | |
39 | Das optionale Paket <em>open-vm-tools</em> verbessert die | |
40 | Integration zusätzlich. | |
41 | </p> | |
42 | ||
43 | <h3>Xen</h3> | |
44 | <p> | |
45 | Xen war der de-facto Open-Source-Hypervisor, wird | |
46 | allerdings immer öfter durch KVM ersetzt. | |
47 | </p> | |
48 | <p> | |
49 | IPFire bringt für den Einsatz auf einem Xen-Host einen | |
50 | paravirtualisierten Kernel mit. | |
51 | Die Installation ist sehr einfach, da bereits ein | |
52 | vorinstalliertes Image auf der Downloadseite heruntergeladen | |
53 | werden kann. | |
54 | </p> | |
55 | ||
56 | <h3>Andere</h3> | |
57 | <p> | |
58 | IPFire ist nicht auf die oben genannten Lösungen beschränkt. | |
59 | Ebenso läuft die Distribution auch unter <em>Qemu</em>, | |
60 | <em>Microsoft Hyper-V</em> und <em>Oracle Virtualbox</em>. | |
61 | </p> | |
62 | ||
63 | <h3>Ein Hinweis zu Virtualisierung</h3> | |
64 | <p> | |
65 | Virtualisierung hat Vorteile, allerdings nicht ohne Nachteile. | |
66 | Es besteht die Möglichkeit, dass die VM-Container-Sicherheit | |
67 | umgangen werden kann und somit ein Angreifer Zugang über die | |
68 | virtuelle Maschine heraus erlangen kann. | |
69 | Aus diesen Gründen empfehlen wir nicht IPFire virtuell | |
70 | in produktiven Umgebungen einzusetzen. | |
71 | </p> | |

73 | <p> | |
74 | IPFire brings many front-end drivers for high-performance virtualization | |
75 | and can be run as virtual guest operating system on the following | |
76 | virtualization platforms. | |
77 | It has also been optimized to some of the mostly distributed ones to bring | |
78 | the best possible performance without impacting the hardware very much. | |
79 | </p> | |

81 | <h2>Supported hypervisors</h2> | |
82 | <h3>KVM</h3> | |
83 | <p> | |
84 | <a href="http://www.linux-kvm.org">KVM</a> is short for | |
85 | Kernel-based Virtual Machine and is developed by | |
86 | <a href="http://www.redhat.com">Red Hat Inc.</a>. | |
87 | It is becoming the most advanced hypervisor and succeeding Xen, which | |
88 | has been used so far. | |
89 | </p> | |
90 | <p> | |
91 | IPFire is coming with the <em>virtio</em> kernel modules, that have best | |
92 | performance due to very less virtualization overhead. | |
93 | </p> | |
94 | ||
95 | <h3>VMware</h3> | |
96 | <p> | |
97 | IPFire runs on different VMware products like <em>vSphere</em>, | |
98 | <em>ESXi</em> and <em>VMware workstation</em>. The additional package | |
99 | <em>open-vm-tools</em> offers tools for a better integration. | |
100 | </p> | |
101 | ||
102 | <h3>Xen</h3> | |
103 | <p> | |
104 | Xen has recently been the de-facto Open Source hypervisor but is now | |
105 | succeeded by KVM. | |
106 | </p> | |
107 | <p> | |
108 | IPFire can optionally be run with a paravirtualized kernel, which has very | |
109 | less virtualization overhead as well. To make the installation very easy, | |
110 | a pregenerated Xen image can be downloaded from the download page. | |
111 | </p> | |
112 | ||
113 | <h3>Others</h2> | |
114 | <p> | |
115 | IPFire is not limited to the hypervisors described above. It runs perfectly on | |
116 | <em>Qemu</em>, <em>Microsoft Hyper-V</em> or <em>Oracle VirtualBox</em>, too. | |
117 | </p> | |
118 | ||
119 | <h3>A note on virtualization</h3> | |
120 | <p> | |
121 | Virtualization does have advantages, but it is not without disadavantages. | |
122 | There is always the possibility that the VM container security can be | |
123 | bypassed in some way and a hacker can gain access beyond the VM. | |
124 | Because of this, it is not suggested to use IPFire as a virtual machine | |
125 | in a production-level environment. | |
126 | </p> | |
