Explanation

A virtual machine (VM) is an emulation of a physical computer. It runs a guest operating system (OS) that shares the physical hardware resources (such as CPU, memory, and storage) of a host machine. VMs provide the capability to run different OS environments on a single physical machine. VMs allow for the running of services or applications on a guest OS, which operates independently of the host OS.
