Why Azure Virtual Machines are the Key to Scalable and Flexible Cloud Solutions

Virtual Machines (VMs) are software-based representations of physical computers that can run operating systems and applications just like physical machines. VMs are created by software known as a hypervisor, which allows multiple VMs to run on a single physical machine. Each VM is isolated from the others, providing security and flexibility for running different operating systems and applications on the same physical hardware. VMs are commonly used for server virtualization, allowing multiple virtual servers to run on a single physical server, reducing costs and increasing efficiency. They are also used for software testing, development environments, and disaster recovery solutions.
