Virtualization is the process of building a software-based, or “virtual,” version of a computer with dedicated resources from a physical host computer, such as your personal computer, and/or a a distant server, such one located in the datacenter of a cloud service provider. A virtual machine is a computer file, often known as an image, that functions like a real computer.
It can operate in a window as a separate computing environment, frequently to run a different operating system—or even to serve as the user’s whole computer experience, as is typical on many people’s works on computers. Because the virtual machine is partitioned off from the rest of the system, the software within a VM cannot interfere with the host computer’s main operating system.For more information have a look at: https://blog.vcclhosting.com/ultimate-guide-of-how-virtual-machine-works/
