Hello Jeremy,
I am quite new to Linux and just enrolled today to this site. I just posted a question about virtualization that perhaps you could help me with. I will try to lead to you my question.
Sincerely,
Tmolus_terra

I am familiar with KVM and Qemu and noticed some job descriptions in the job market that involve OpenStack. I am interested in Cloud Infrastructure but not sure if I have a specific question yet, but from my reading I have come across the term "state file" or "simple state file" which I believe is a type of package.


Maybe someone can lead me to some more information pertaining to exactly what a state file is.
