Secure Deployment of Oracle VM Server for SPARC
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Introduction Virtualization is widely used in consolidation projects and as a basis for new server deployments. The benefits in energy efficiency, space, cooling as well as cost are immediately apparent, as many applications don't require the full computational power of even the smallest available new server today. However, in addition to all these benefits, virtualization also introduces some additional aspects to system security. Oracle VM Server for SPARC (previously called Sun Logical Domains or LDoms) technology is one implementation of virtualization based on the UltraSPARC T1, T2, T2 Plus and SPARC T3 processors. This paper will help you understand the general security concerns in virtualized environments as well as the specific additional threats that arise out of them. It will discuss these threats, their relation to Oracle VM Server for SPARC and how to mitigate the risk with a set of appropriate counter measures. Based on these, some general recommendations for secure deployments – both for Oracle VM Server for SPARC and for virtualized systems in general – will be given, using a generalized model of security classes as an example. To make good use of this paper, you should have some basic understanding of how Logical Domains work and how they are configured. It is recommended that you have read and understood the very good introduction presented in the Sun Blueprint " Beginners Guide to LDoms " [1] or the more recent whitepaper " Oracle VM Server for SPARC: Enabling A Flexible, Efficient IT Infrastructure " [2].
