Imagine you have a powerful personal computer at home. You are a single person, and you can utilize it up to a maximum of 30%, while the remaining 70% of the resources are wasted. How can you make full use of your computer’s potential?

Introduction to Virtualization

Virtualization is a technology that allows multiple virtual environments to run on a single physical hardware system. It works by abstracting hardware resources such as CPU, memory, and storage, creating virtual versions of these resources. This abstraction enables efficient utilization, flexible management of IT infrastructure, and allows different operating systems and applications to operate independently on the same hardware.

Virtulization in cloud computing

Virtualization in cloud computing refers to the creation of virtual versions of physical resources such as servers, storage devices, networks, and even entire operating systems. Cloud service providers create separate virtual machines for each user, allocating resources according to their specific requirements. This enables flexible, scalable, and cost-effective solutions, allowing multiple users to share the same…
