Virtualization is a technique for creating a view of multiple computers or servers based on a real computer, dedicated server, or cluster. This device is called a host. It has a certain processor configuration, disk memory. Specialized software is implemented so that physical resources can run multiple virtual machines that are independent of each other.

In fact, virtualization is similar to the presence of multiple virtual machines on a single real device. The illusion itself is put into practice with the help of a hypervisor.


A hypervisor is a program that manages the physical resources of a computer and distributes those resources among a number of operating systems. The platform launches virtual telegram data devices at the same time. Simply put, the hypervisor forms multiple copies of a computer on one device, and each clone is recognized as a separate device. You may install a guest operating system on any device that is not related to "filling" a physical computer.

The hypervisor allows children to be independent of each other so that everyone can freely use the resources allocated to them. But at the same time, if necessary, the program provides an opportunity for machine systems to interact with each other. For example, they can be linked by sharing documents.

Virtual clones are quite mobile and can be transferred between remote servers. This is easier to do than regular applications installed on a physical computer.
