A virtual machine is a software emulation of a physical computer that operates and executes programs like a physical machine. It runs on a physical computer and is capable of running its own operating system and applications as if it were a physical computer. Virtual machines are isolated from each other and can provide a way to run multiple operating systems on a single physical machine. They are commonly used for testing new software, running legacy applications, and creating secure environments for running sensitive applications.
