Q1 
Virtualization refers to the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual)
version of something, including virtual computer hardware platforms,
operating systems, storage devices, and computer network resources.

 Applications: These represent the software programs or services running within each
virtual machine (VM). They are the user-facing components that perform specific tasks
or functions.

 Guest OS (Operating System): Each virtual machine runs its own guest operating system,
which is independent of the host operating system. This allows different operating
systems (e.g., Windows, Linux) to run simultaneously on the same physical hardware.

 Virtual Hardware: This refers to the virtualized representation of hardware components

(e.g., CPU, memory, disk, network interfaces) presented to each virtual machine. Virtual
hardware is managed and controlled by the hypervisor.

 Hypervisor: The hypervisor is the virtualization layer that enables the creation and
management of virtual machines. It abstracts and partitions the underlying physical
resources, allowing multiple VMs to share the same physical hardware. Examples of
hypervisors include VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, and KVM (Kernel-based Virtual
Machine).
 Operating System: This is the software that manages hardware resources and provides
services to applications running within each VM. Each VM has its own operating system,
isolated from other VMs.

 Physical Server: This represents the underlying physical hardware on which the
hypervisor runs and hosts multiple virtual machines.

Cloud Computing Deployment Model :
 Public Cloud: In a public cloud model, cloud services and infrastructure are owned
and operated by a third-party cloud service provider.

 Private Cloud: A private cloud is dedicated to a single organization

 Hybrid Cloud: A hybrid cloud combines elements of both public and private
clouds, allowing data and applications to be shared between them.

 Community Cloud: A community cloud is shared among several organizations with

similar interests

Cloud Computing Service Model

 Infrastructure as a Service provides virtualized computing resources over the
internet. With IaaS, cloud providers offer virtualized hardware resources such as
virtual machines, storage, networks, and other infrastructure components.

 Platform as a Service abstracts the underlying infrastructure and provides a

platform for developers to build, deploy, and manage applications without the
complexity of managing the underlying hardware and software infrastructure.

 Software as a Service (SaaS): Software as a Service delivers software applications

over the internet on a subscription basis.
