Virtualization in AEM

[Ex-membro da Comunidade]

Hello,

What is Virtualization in CQ? How is it implemented?

I tried searching the day docs but could not find anything really informative. Can some one help me with this?

Thanks in advance

If you are referring to server visualization there isn't any AEM related implementation details - the software is installed that same on a virtualized server as it is on physical server. 

The other place in AEM where you see the term virtual is around virtual components like the column control components. This is a component that doesn't actual have any code - it exists only to allow the author to drag a particular configuration on the page. Not a lot of documentation about that - you  need to dig into the column control code if you want to understand it.
