Week 4

At this point it is just simply adding to the list of VM images my runtime supports, of course each are carefully tested too. I added Hyper-V support for both 18.04 LTS and 16.04 LTS and finalized the VirtualBox image for 18.04 LTS. Hyper-V is the virtualization that is built into Windows and is a level 1 hypervisor (VirtualBox is a level 2). Being a level 1, Hyper-V actually uses a hypervisor to virtualize your VM and the Windows OS itself, a special version of the Windows OS though. A level 2, like VirtualBox, is a hypervisor that runs on top of another OS. Unfortunately, you cannot use a level 1 while using a level 2, i.e. if you are running Hyper-V you can't run VirtualBox.


Having a Hyper-V image for HPCC Systems Platform will be a great addition because Hyper-V comes with windows now and is a widely used virtualization technique.

Week 11

Beginning of the last sprint! This week I pull requested my packer.io code, which is now neatly organized, to the existing repo that generates other VM images. Just waiting on the repo owner's feedbac

Week 10

It's beginning to look a lot like the last mile! So work continues on the Bundle. This week I started to package my code and various logic into modules such that an ECL developer could easily use this
