A Deep Dive into Azure Virtual Machines: Benefits and Use Cases

A virtual machine (VM) is a software-based emulation of a physical computer system. It allows multiple operating systems to run on a single physical machine, enabling users to run different applications and software on separate virtual environments. VMs are commonly used in data centers to optimize hardware utilization, streamline software deployment, and provide a more flexible and scalable infrastructure. They are also commonly used in software development and testing environments.
