System virtualization

This module on virtualization aims to give students a complete overview of the field, from the invention of the first virtualization techniques to their current use in the cloud or devops technologies (via the creation of virtual development environments).A low-level approach is also part of the course: computer architecture (memory, processor, etc.) is studied to understand how virtualization works.On the system side, hands-on exercises familiarize students with the handling of virtualization tools under Linux. On the cybersecurity side, the course covers vulnerabilities (attacking a virtualized Windows), the use of virtualization in attacks, threats to virtualization, dependability in virtual infrastructures, and post-mortem analysis of virtual disks (forensic).
