Bare metal refers to a computing environment where an operating system or application runs directly on the hardware, without using a virtualization layer or hypervisor. This means that the software has direct access to the system’s resources and can take full advantage of the hardware’s performance capabilities. Bare metal is often used in high-performance computing, big data processing, and gaming applications, where low latency and high efficiency are crucial.
