What you won't find

This book will not teach you SQL, PL/SQL, Linux, or any other languages here. We will also not delve too deeply into the concept of virtualization either. We expect you to know a bit about virtualization and expect you to have used other virtualization products already.

Neither will we get into all forms of virtualization such as clustering, hardware-assist, host- based, full, or Para virtualization. We will also not get into the security part of the book, something which is increasingly becoming a hot topic among the virtualization industry. We will first concentrate on getting you started.
