Machines, also known as Virtual Servers or Virtual Instances, are available in various configurations and deployment options to serve different use cases. When creating a virtual server in the cloud, you specify the Region and Zone or Data Center for provisioning and the desired Operating System. You can choose between shared (multi-tenant) VMs or dedicated (single-tenant) VMs, and select billing options (hourly or monthly), storage, and networking options. </p>http://ghafoorsblog.com/courses/ibm/fullstack-content/fullstack-pcert/02-cloud-computing/03-module/002-vms-virtualisation/Fri, 14 Mar 2025 01:07:04 +0000noreply@example.com (AG Sayyed)http://ghafoorsblog.com/courses/ibm/fullstack-content/fullstack-pcert/02-cloud-computing/03-module/002-vms-virtualisation/<p class="lead text-primary"> This documents explores the concept of virtualization, the role of hypervisors, and the benefits of virtual machines (VMs) in cloud computing. Virtualization is a key technology for cloud computing, enabling the creation of virtual resources like servers, storage, and networks. </p> <h2 id="understanding-virtualization">Understanding Virtualization</h2> <p>Virtualization is a technology that remains crucial for building cloud computing strategies. It involves creating a software-based, or virtual, version of resources like compute, storage, networking, servers, or applications. The key to making virtualization possible is the hypervisor.</p>
