What is virtualization?

By using virtualization, your RHEL 10 system can host multiple virtual machines (VMs), also referred to as guests. VMs use the host’s physical hardware and computing resources to run a separate, virtualized operating system (guest OS) as a user-space process on the host’s operating system.

As a result, you can use virtualization to have operating systems within operating systems.

By using VMs, you can, for example:

  • Safely test software configurations and features
  • Run legacy software
  • Optimize the workload efficiency of your hardware.
