Virtualization | Hypervisor | Containerization

Virtualization Process of creating the simulation of virtual machines, OS, storage and network etc. Running multiple OS on single physical machine. Logically dividing the server into smaller parts for better resource utilization. Instead of having one OS per computer, you can run many OSes — like Windows, Linux, etc. Hypervisor Helps in implementing virtualization. Simulates entire machines (with full OS). It allows multiple operating systems to run on a single physical machine by isolating them into separate VMs. Containerization It is a lightweight best suited for microservices. Example : Full stack website where backend is stressed you directly scale it without compormising frontend and database
