Sysprep is a tool that removes all your personal account and security information, and then prepares the machine to be used as an image. It is supported by Windows and some Linux distributions. It can also remove drivers and other machine-specific settings. Sysprep is required when creating a managed image outside of a gallery in Azure

The correct command to boot a QEMU virtual machine using hardware virtualization extensions is qemu -accel kvm -drive file-debian.img -cdrom debian.iso -m 1024 -boot d. This command uses the -accel option to specify the hardware accelerator to use, which in this case is kvm. KVM is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V)1. The -drive option specifies the disk image file to use, which in this case is debian.img. The -cdrom option specifies the ISO image file to use as a CD-ROM, which in this case is debian.iso. The -m option specifies the amount of memory to allocate to the virtualmachine, which in this case is 1024 MB. The -boot option specifies the boot order, which in this case is d, meaning to boot from the CD-ROM first. References:

• Both Vagrant and Docker can share directories from the host file system to a guest. This allows the guest to access files and folders from the host without copying them. Vagrant uses the config.vm.synced_folder option in the Vagrantfile to specify the shared folders1. Docker uses the -v or --volume flag in the docker run command to mount a host directory as a data volume in the container2.
• Both Vagrant and Docker can download required base images. Base images are the starting point for creating a guest environment. Vagrant uses the config.vm.box option in the Vagrantfile to specify the base image to use1. Docker uses the FROM instruction in the Dockerfile to specify the base image to use2. Both Vagrant and Docker can download base images from public repositories or local sources.
• Both Vagrant and Docker can apply changes to a base image. Changes are modifications or additions to the base image that customize the guest environment. Vagrant uses provisioners to run scripts or commands on the guest after it is booted1. Docker uses instructions in the Dockerfile to execute commands on the baseimage and create a new image2. Both Vagrant and Docker can save the changes to a new image or discard them after the guest is destroyed.
• Vagrant and Docker differ in how they start system images. Vagrant starts system images as virtual machines by default, using a provider such as VirtualBox, VMware, or Hyper-V1. Docker starts system images as containers by default, using the native containerization functionality on macOS, Linux, and Windows2. Containers are generally more lightweight and faster than virtual machines, but less secure and flexible. References: 1: Vagrant vs. Docker | Vagrant | HashiCorp Developer 2: Vagrant vs Docker: Which Is Right for You?

 Libvirt is a toolkit that provides a common API for managing different virtualization technologies, such as KVM, Xen, LXC, and others. Libvirt allows users to configure and control various aspects of a virtual machine (also called a domain), such as its CPU, memory, disk, network, and other resources. Among the resources that can be limited by libvirt for a KVM domain are:

• Amount of CPU time: Libvirt allows users to specify the number of virtual CPUs (vCPUs) that a domain can use, as well as the CPU mode, model, topology, and tuning parameters. Users can also set the CPU shares, quota, and period to control the relative or absolute amount of CPU time that a domain can consume. Additionally, users can pin vCPUs to physical CPUs or NUMA nodes to improve performance and isolation. These settings can be configured in the domain XML file under the  and  elements12.
• Size of available memory: Libvirt allows users to specify the amount of memory that a domain can use, as well as the memory backing, tuning, and NUMA node parameters. Users can also set the memory hard and soft limits, swap hard limit, and minimum guarantee to control the memory allocation and reclaim policies for a domain. These settings can be configured in the domain XML file under the , , and  elements13.

The other resources listed in the question are not directly limited by libvirt for a KVM domain. File systems allowed in the domain are determined by the disk and filesystem devices that are attached to the domain, which can be configured in the domain XML file under the  and  elements14. Number of running processes and number of available files are determined by the operating system and the file system of the domain, which are not controlled by libvirt.

The lxc-attach command allows the user to start a new process within a running LXC container12. It takes the name of the container as an argument and optionally a command to execute inside the container. If no command is specified, it creates a new shell inside the container1. For example, to list all the files in the home directory of a container named myContainer, one can use:

lxc-attach -n myContainer – ls -lh /home
