VMs (Virtual Machines)

Virtual Machines (VMs) are software-based simulations of physical computers. They run on a single physical machine called a host, but operate independently like separate computers, each with its own operating system and applications. VMs allow multiple virtual computers to coexist on one physical system, sharing resources such as CPU, memory, and storage. This setup enables efficient use of hardware, supports testing and development, and enhances security by isolating environments. Essentially, VMs create flexible, isolated computing spaces within a single physical machine, making technology more adaptable and scalable.
