Cloud computing is a relatively new field that is gaining more popularity day by day for ramified applications among the internet users. Virtualization plays a significant role in managing and coordinating the access from the resource pool to multiple virtual machines on which multiple heterogeneous applications are running. Various virtualization methodologies are of significant importance because they help to overcome the complex workloads, frequent application patching and updating, and multiple software architecture. Although a lot of research has been conducted on virtualization, a range of issues involved has mostly been presented in isolation from each other. Therefore, we have made an attempt to present a comprehensive survey study of different aspects of virtualization. We present our classification of virtualization methodologies and their brief explanation, based on their working principle and underlying features.
