F5's Virtual Clustered Multiprocessing, or vCMP for short, is virtualization technology that couples a custom hypervisor running on the BIG-IP host with a hardware-specific scalable number of guest virtual machines running TMOS. This article wraps a short series of Lightboard Lessons Jason filmed to introduce the high level vCMP concepts.
In this first video, Jason covers the differences between multi-tenancy and virtualization and discusses how the vCMP system works.
In part 2, Jason covers the great flexibility in guest provisioning, guest networking concepts, and a high availability overview for guests versus chassis.
In part 3, Jason concludes the series with a discussion on network security, guest deployment security, and secure memory management.
