virtualization

Is it possible that a Process inside a VM guest uses the VMX (AMD-V, VT-x) CPU instructions, that are then processed by the outer VMM instead of directly on the CPU? Edit: Assume that the outer VM uses VMX itself to manage its virtual guest machine (i.e. it runs in Ring -1). If it is possible are there any implementations of VMMs that support emulating/intercepting VMX calls (VMware, Parallels, KVM,...)? Nor the Intel's VT-x nor the AMD's AMD-V support a fully recursive virtualization in hardware - where the CPU keep a hierarchy of nested virtualized environments in the same fashion of a call

Closed. This question is off-topic. It is not currently accepting answers. Learn more . Want to improve this question? Update the question so it's on-topic for Stack Overflow. Closed 7 years ago . How to create an EC2 AMI from an instance? Ok, so I got an EC2 account. I launched an instance with Fedora 8, Apache, MySQL PHP. I also configured some things and installed Piwik. "Cool...", I thought, "... I should now be able to create an AMI with that custom configuration. Instead, all I can find are guides with 300 steps on how to create one from scratch. Maybe I am dreaming but I thought this

I want to know how virtual machines (VMWare) updates their date and time and how to disable this; because i noticed that even if i suspend/shutdown a virtual machine for a year when i'll turn it on again, it will have the right time and date. For physical machines i know there is a little battery inside the Central Unit fixed on the Motherboard that helps to keep date when the computer is turned off and disconnected from powersupply. But what about virtual machines how do they keep their time ? and how can I forbid that ? You also need to tell the virtual machine to disable clock

We have a series of rectangles produced inside a Canvas and they are nested in this order ScrollView>Canvas>VirtualizingStackPanel>Rectangles in the XAML. There seems to be little information on Microsoft about under what senarios Virtualization is supported, and in cases where it isn't no error is thrown, it merely treats it like a standard StackPanel. Given that our view has roughly 60 rectangles on the screen at any one time out of a total of about 800 on the whole canvas the loading times of about 5 minutes are unacceptably slow. We have already tryed removing the ScrollView to no effect (

Heres the problem. I use around three different machines for development. My partner is using two. We have to go through the same freaking set up procedure on all five machines to get to work. Working with a php project here, so: Install and configure, PDT, a php debugger, and some version of XAMPP. Then possible install an svn client, and any other tools. Again, to each of the five machines. What if, instead, we did all of this once, in a virtual machine that is set up with the same stack, same versions, as the production server. Then each of us could grab a copy of the VM image, run that

I don't think the question needs any explanation. I'm writing a software that can boot virtual machines to simulate a network. I would like to disable this feature if the software is already running on a virtual machine. I already read this post: How to detect if my application is running in a virtual machine? But I need to do it on Linux and that post covers only Windows. I'm tagging it as a Perl question as I've to do it in Perl, but probably there are some file in proc or somewhere else to check and it's the same for all languages. I don't know actually. I'm interested in detecting mainly
