What is virtualization?
Virtualization is the technology that splits one physical server’s resources (CPU, RAM, disk) into several independent virtual machines (VMs). Each VM runs like a separate computer with its own OS, while sharing the same physical hardware.
What is a hypervisor?
A hypervisor is the software layer that creates and manages virtual machines. It allocates physical resources among VMs and isolates them from each other. Common examples: KVM, VMware, Hyper-V.
Benefits of virtualization
- Efficient hardware use — one server does multiple jobs.
- Isolation — a problem in one VM does not affect others.
- Flexible scaling — resources can be added quickly.
- Fast deployment — a new server in minutes.
Virtualization and VPS/VDS/Cloud
VPS, VDS and cloud servers are built on virtualization. In a VPS resources come from a pool; in a VDS physical cores are guaranteed (no overcommit); in the cloud several physical servers form a pool and load is distributed across them.
