Virtualization is the process of creating a virtual version of something, such as a server, a storage device, or a network resource. The primary goal of virtualization is to abstract physical resources into manageable, flexible units that can be easily allocated, utilized, and monitored. This allows for better resource utilization, isolation, scalability, and flexibility in a computing environment. Virtualization enables running multiple operating systems and applications on a single physical machine, isolating each of them from the others, ensuring better resource distribution, and increasing overall system performance. The underlying abstraction of virtualization involves separating the physical hardware from the software that runs on it. This abstraction allows for the creation of a virtual environment in which software can run independently from the actual hardware. The abstraction is achieved by a layer of software called the hypervisor, which sits between the hardware and the operating system, providing a virtualized view of the physical resources. The hypervisor enables multiple operating systems to run simultaneously on the same physical machine, each within its own virtual machine (VM). There are several key features provided by the virtualization environment: 1. Resource Allocation: Virtualization allows for dynamic allocation of physical resources such as CPU, memory, storage, and network bandwidth to different virtual machines. This results in improved efficiency and resource utilization. 2. Isolation: Each virtual machine is isolated from others, meaning that the actions or failures of one VM do not
