Explanation

Bare metal installation means the OS is installed directly on the physical hardware, giving the OS and its workloads direct, unshared access to all CPU, RAM, storage, and network resources. There is no hypervisor or virtualization layer consuming overhead. This maximizes resource efficiency and performance for workloads that need dedicated hardware. A full or GUI installation adds unnecessary components. Core removes the GUI but is still an installation type, not a deployment model. Bare metal as a deployment model ensures no virtualization tax on resources.
