What is Virtual Machines?
A virtual machine (VM) is essentially a software-defined computer that runs on top of a physical computer. It emulates the hardware of a physical machine, allowing you to run an operating system and applications within a simulated environment. This allows multiple operating systems to run concurrently on a single physical server, sharing its resources.
