Virtualization Architecture Components
- Host MachineImages: The physical hardware that runs the hypervisor and hosts multiple VMs.
- Guest Machine: The virtual machines running on the host, each with its own OS and applications.
- Virtual Network: Virtualized networking components, such as virtual switches and VLANs, that enable communication between VMs and external networks.
- Storage Virtualization: Abstracting physical storage resources into virtual storage pools accessible by VMs.
- Management Layer: Tools and interfaces for managing the virtual environment, including resource allocation, monitoring, and automation.
