Azure Virtual Machines: The Ultimate Solution for Scalable Computing

A virtual machine is a software-based emulation of a physical computer that runs an operating system and applications just like a physical computer. It allows users to create and run multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine, enabling them to test different operating systems, applications, and configurations without affecting their main system. Virtual machines are commonly used for software development, testing, and running legacy applications. They also provide a way to isolate and secure applications and data, as well as optimize hardware resources by running multiple virtual machines on a single server.
