Programming the Virtual Infrastructure
With the use of virtualization, changes in a computing infrastructure no longer require physical intervention: the capacity of the virtual machines, their attached disks, and their network connections can all be changed by software. The challenges of configuring this infrastructure have some interesting analogies with the task of programming the first computers—and the whole new discipline of software engineering was needed to fully exploit their power. What does this mean for today's system administrator?
