What is Guest Operating Systems?
A Guest Operating System (GuestOS) is an operating system installed within a virtual machine. Think of it as an operating system running inside another operating system (the host). This allows you to run multiple operating systems on a single physical machine, each isolated from the others. This isolation provides a contained environment for software, allowing for testing, development, and running applications in different environments simultaneously.
