What is a Virtual Machine ?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In order to understand what is a \u201cVirtual machine\u201d, we need to first understand \u201cWhat is a machine?\u201d. The answer to this question lies on the perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Seen from the standpoint of a process, the “machine” constitutes both the operating system and the underlying hardware. The Application Binary Interface (ABI) serves as the interface between the process and the machine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Regarding the operating system’s viewpoint, the term “machine” pertains to the hardware beneath, and the interface between the system and the machine is facilitated by the ISA (Instruction Set Architecture).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    A virtual machine functions by executing software in a manner identical to the original machine for which the software was intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Regarding terminology, the underlying platform is commonly termed as the host, while the software operating within the VM environment is referred to as the guest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
