Step 1: Install Virtualization Software

 Download and install Oracle VM VirtualBox

 This software allows you to create and run virtual machines on your system
Step 2: Download Operating System

 Download an ISO file of an OS like Ubuntu

 ISO file acts as installation media (like a virtual CD/DVD)
Step 3: Create a New Virtual Machine

 Open VirtualBox
 Click on New
 Enter:
o Name (e.g., Ubuntu VM)
o Type: Linux
o Version: Ubuntu (64-bit)
Step 4: Allocate Resources

 Assign:
o RAM (e.g., 2GB or more)
o CPU cores (if available)
 This represents infrastructure allocation
Step 5: Create Virtual Hard Disk

 Choose VDI (Virtual Disk Image)

 Select Dynamically Allocated
 Set size (e.g., 20GB)
 This acts as your storage in cloud


Step 6: Attach OS ISO File

 Select VM → Click Settings → Storage

 Under Controller IDE, attach the downloaded ISO file
 This prepares the VM for OS installation
Step 7: Start and Install OS

 Click Start
 Follow installation steps:
o Select language
o Partition disk
o Create username & password
 OS will install inside VM

Step 8: Use Virtual Machine

 After installation, restart VM

 You can now:
o Install software
o Run applications
o Use it like a real computer
EXPERIMENT 3: Virtualization using VirtualBox
Objective:

To implement virtualization and manage virtual machines using VirtualBox.

Steps Performed:

Step 1: Install VirtualBox

Downloaded and installed VirtualBox software on the system.

Step 2: Create Virtual Machine

Opened VirtualBox and clicked on “New” to create a new VM.

Step 3: Configure VM
Entered VM name, selected OS type and allocated RAM.

Step 4: Create Storage

Created virtual hard disk for storing operating system files.

Step 5: Attach ISO File

Attached ISO file of operating system to the virtual machine.
Step 6: Install OS
Started VM and installed guest operating system.

Step 7: Clone VM
Created a clone of virtual machine to duplicate it.
Step 8: Migration
Exported and imported VM to perform migration.

Step 9: Manage VM
Started, stopped and modified VM settings.

Result:

Successfully created, cloned and managed virtual machines.

Objective:

To interact with cloud storage and perform management tasks such as bucket creation, file
transfer, access control (ACL), and user access management.

Tools Used:

 Supabase
 Supabase Storage Service

Steps Performed:

Step 1: Create Supabase Account

 Open browser and go to [Link]

 Click on “Start your project”
 Sign up using email (no credit card required)

Step 2: Create New Project

 Click on “New Project”

 Enter:
o Project Name
o Database Password
 Click “Create Project”
 Wait for project setup to complete
Step 3: Open Storage Section

 From dashboard, click on “Storage”

 This opens the object storage system

Step 4: Create Bucket

 Click “Create Bucket”

 Enter bucket name (e.g., my-files)
  Choose:
o Public (accessible) OR
o Private (restricted)
 Click “Create”

Step 5: Upload Files (File Transfer)

 Open the created bucket

 Click “Upload File”
 Select files from local system
 Files uploaded successfully
 Step 6: Download Files

 Click on uploaded file

 Use download option to verify file transfer

Step 7: Configure Access Control (ACL-like Policies)

 Go to “Policies” tab in Storage

 Create policy rules such as:
o read access (public access)
o Authenticated user access

Step 8: User Access Management (IAM-like)

 Supabase uses authentication system

 Go to “Authentication” → “Users”
 Add or manage users
 Control who can access storage
Step 9: Generate File URL & Test Access

 Copy public URL of file

 Open in browser or incognito mode
 Verify access permissions

Result:

Successfully performed cloud storage operations including bucket creation, file

upload/download, access control policies, and user-based access management using
Supabase Storage.
