As part of a creative marketing effort Sun and AMD are offering for free the book Virtualization for Dummies, written by Bernard Golden and Clark Scheffy and published by Wiley this year.

The 50-pages book (six chapters) is a special edition with some modifications at design and content level. For example the second chapter is totally dedicated to AMD-V CPU extension, the third chapter introduces to the AMD nested page tables technology Rapid Virtualization Indexing (RVI) and its I/O virtualization efforts, and the fifth chapter describes the entire virtualization portfolio that Sun just announced.

Overall it’s worth a look if you are real virtualization newcomers.
