I work on virtual machines at Google. I usually suggest
"Hardware and Software Support for Virtualization" [1] to new team members without a virtualization background.
This looks like a good read, thanks. I'm curious what your background is. How does one go about getting into that specialty at an org like Google? I've understood that Borg and GKE containers at Google generally always run in a VM. Is this where your work is(platform) or are you more research oriented?
Generally "systems-y software" is my background. I joined Google for a semi-experimental operating system project and from there it was a small jump to virtualization when I decided I was interested in doing something else. I'm definitely on the platform side, but been doing some interesting stuff recently :)
Thanks. Do you have any other recommendations for "systems-y software" books or resources you think would be helpful for a people pursuing similar roles?
