virtual machines
hypervisor
software that connects to the hardware and allows the splitting of one system into multiple, separate environments (virtual machines)
-
VMs rely on the hypervisor to separate resources of the hardware and distribute them accordingly, when they are required

virtual router
-
-
usually supported by 2 physical routers - 1 to carry out normal routing functions, and the other to offer redundancy

virtualisation
features
managed execution
sharing, aggregatiob, emulation, + isolation can all be managed from a central virtual server
sharing
the creation of separate computing environments within the same host. used to reduce the number of active servers + limits power consumption
aggregation
a group of hosts are combined + presented to guests as a single virtual host. made possible through cluster management software
isolation
Each virtual machine is kept isolated from its host physical system and other virtualized machines. Because of this isolation, if one virtual model crashes, the other virtual machines and the host system don't affect each other. In addition, data isn't shared between one virtual model and another.
portability
Virtualized applications can be run on different machines and operating systems with minimal compatibility issues. This portability is especially valuable in remote work scenarios, where users may need to access applications from various devices or locations.
emulation
involves one system imitating another - eg system a runs windows but system b doesnt, we make system b emulate the working of system a
-
virtualisation - technology that enables a single, physical hardware system to be separated into multiple simulated environments/dedicated resources
