Bare metal refers to a computer system or hardware without any operating system or software installed on it. It is a term used in IT to describe a computer that is running directly on the physical hardware without any virtualization or abstraction layers. This allows for full utilization of the hardware’s performance and resources without the overhead of a virtualization layer or operating system. In some cases, a bare metal system might run a single application or service, designed specifically for that hardware, without the need for a full operating system.
