Virtual Machine Monitor
A Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM), also known as a hypervisor, is software that enables multiple virtual machines (VMs) to run on a single physical computer. It acts as a control layer, managing hardware resources like CPU, memory, and storage, and dividing them among the VMs. This allows each VM to operate independently, running its own operating system and applications as if it were a separate physical machine. The VMM ensures isolation, security, and efficient resource use, making it possible to run different environments on a single device.
