VM-based isolation
VM-based isolation, or virtual machine-based isolation, is a technology that allows multiple operating systems to run on a single physical computer while keeping each environment separate. Think of it like having several apartments in a single building; each apartment (virtual machine) has its own space and resources, ensuring that what happens in one apartment doesn’t affect the others. This isolation enhances security and stability, as issues in one virtual machine won’t spill over into the others, making it easier to manage different applications or services efficiently on the same hardware.
