Create a pair of virtual machines¶

Objective: Create a pair of virtual machines to host your application

Why

A virtual machine was originally defined by Popek and Goldberg as an efficient, isolated duplicate of a real computer machine. Current use includes virtual machines that have no direct correspondence to any real hardware. The physical, real-world hardware running the VM is generally referred to as the host, and the virtual machine emulated on that machine is generally referred to as the guest. A host can emulate several guests, each of which can emulate different operating systems and hardware platforms.

Applications hosted on these virtual machines will be made secure, highly-available, and expose analytics, through various F5XC, NGINX, and BIG-IP challenges.
