virtualized environments
A virtualized environment allows multiple virtual systems (or "virtual machines") to run on a single physical computer. Think of it like having several independent apartments in one building, where each apartment operates separately but shares the building’s resources, such as electricity and water. This technology maximizes efficiency, as each virtual machine can run its own operating system and applications, enabling better use of hardware, reduced costs, and improved flexibility. It’s commonly used in data centers and cloud computing to manage resources effectively and ensure scalability for businesses.
