Welcome To Module 2: Understanding Virtualization

Virtualization allows for more efficient use of computing resources by running multiple virtual machines on a single physical server. It works by inserting a hypervisor software layer that virtualizes the server's hardware and allows multiple operating systems to run simultaneously. The benefits of virtualization include reduced costs, improved management and deployment, increased availability, and better testing capabilities. Key virtualization terms include hypervisor, host, virtual machine, guest, and virtualization manager. Popular virtualization companies provide hypervisors like VMware ESXi, Oracle VirtualBox, and Microsoft Hyper-V. While virtualization is a technology, cloud computing refers to virtualized resources being delivered as a service from remote data centers.
