Virtual Machine Management (VMM) is the process of creating, managing, and maintaining virtual machines (VMs). VMs are software-based representations of physical computers that can run on a host computer. VMM allows multiple VMs to run on a single physical computer, which can save resources and improve efficiency.
Virtualization Technologies
There are two main types of virtualization technologies: Type 1 (bare metal) hypervisors and Type 2 (hosted) hypervisors. Type 1 hypervisors run directly on the host computer's hardware, while Type 2 hypervisors run on an operating system (OS) that is installed on the host computer. Some popular virtualization platforms include VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer.
