machines and services
VMM allows you to rapidly deploy virtual machines, applications, and services by
leveraging profiles, virtualized applications, and templates. In this chapter you will learn
how to configure profiles, and how to virtualize applications. You'll then learn how you can
use templates and packages to deploy a service, as well as how to update a service that you
have already deployed to your organization's private cloud.
Objectives in this chapter:
■
Objective 5.1: Configure profiles
■
Objective 5.2: Create and configure Server App-V packages
■
Objective 5.3: Configure and deploy a service
■
Objective 5.4: Update a service
This objective deals with configuring the various profile types supported by VMM. In this
section you will learn how to use hardware profiles, guest operating system profiles, appli-
cation profiles, and SQL Server profiles.
This section covers the following topics:
■
Hardware profiles
■
Guest operating system profiles
■
Application profiles
■
SQL Server profiles
A VMM hardware profile allows you to create a representation of a virtual machine's hard-
ware configuration that can be used by VMM. Hardware profiles include information about
the number of processors, the amount of RAM available to the virtual machine, as well as
