What is virtualization?

Creating simulated computing environments from one physical machine — the Red Hat definition.

What it means

Red Hat defines virtualization as "a technology that allows you to create virtual, simulated environments from a single, physical machine."

Those virtual machines (VMs) are the building block under most cloud computing and a common way to build a home lab for hands-on practice — useful for support, systems, and cloud roles.

Definitional only.
