Explanation

Virtualization enables abstracting compute, network, and storage service platforms from the underlying physical hardware.

Virtualization in cloud computing allows for the creation of a layer of abstraction between the physical hardware and the virtual resources, enabling multiple virtual machines (VMs) to run on a single physical server. This abstraction enables:

• Multiple VMs to share the same physical hardware
• VMs to be isolated from each other
• VMs to be easily moved between physical servers
• Efficient use of physical hardware resources
