Question

Write the characteristivs of virtualization

Answer 1

Partitioning: In virtualization, many applications and operating systems (OSes) are supported in a single physical system by partitioning(separating) the available resources.

Isolation: Each virtual machine is isolated from its host physical system and other virtualized machines. Because of this isolation, if one virtual-instance crashes, it doesn’t affect the other virtual machines. In addition, data isn’t shared between one virtual container and another.

Encapsulation: A virtual machine can be represented (and even stored) as a single file, so you can identify it easily based on the service it provides. In essence, the encapsulated process could be a business service. This encapsulated virtual machine can be presented to an application as a complete entity. Therefore, encapsulation can protect each application so that it doesn’t interfere with another application.

Answer 2

Virtualization is the method of generating a 'virtual version' of a physical machine.

Virtualization is achieved by using a virtual machine monitor.

It allows running multiple virtual machines on a single physical device.

It can be easily moved from hardware to the other without any changes observed by the Virtual machines.

Virtualization is used widely in cloud computing.

Virtualization helps in the running of multiple operating systems and different applications on each one of them on the same physical hardware components.
