Explanation

Virtual machines (VMs) are widely used in testing and development environments to provide isolated, contained instances that mimic production systems. This isolation ensures that any unauthorized, experimental, or potentially harmful code executed within the VM does not affect the host operating system or the production network. The VM acts as a "sandbox," allowing for safe testing and analysis.
