Virtual Machines

A virtual machine (VM) is a software-based simulation of a computer that runs on a physical computer. It allows you to create and operate multiple "virtual" computers on a single physical machine, each with its own operating system and applications. This technology enables efficient use of resources, as multiple VMs can share the same hardware, while remaining isolated from each other. VMs are commonly used for testing software, running different operating systems, and optimizing server usage in data centers. Essentially, they provide flexibility and efficiency in computing environments.
