Virtual Machine

A virtual machine (VM) is a software-based emulation of a computer system. It allows you to run an operating system and applications on a computer or device that would not normally be able to run them. VMs are used for a variety of purposes, including testing, development, and running legacy software.

A virtual machine is created using virtualization software, which creates a “virtual” version of a computer’s hardware, including the CPU, memory, storage, and network interfaces. The virtual hardware is then used to run an operating system and applications just like a physical computer. However, the virtual machine runs on top of a host operating system and shares the resources of the host, such as memory and CPU.

VMs are useful because they allow you to run multiple operating systems and applications on the same physical hardware, and they can be easily created, deleted, and moved between different host systems. They also provide a level of isolation and security, as the applications and operating systems running in a VM are separated from the host and from other VMs.
