Uses Of Virtual Machines
- The virtual machine can back up our existing operating system. This is one of the important use of VM that the existing O.S that we are using can be backed up by a virtual machine.
- The apps are built and deployed in a cloud and a virtual machine can be used in it for building and deployment of apps in a cloud.
- Virtual machines can be used to run various apps and software on operating systems that are not made originally for them. There are many apps and software which are not made for some operating systems but virtual machines are used in such cases to overcome such problems.
- Azure dev test labs use the virtual machine for testing and running various software other than the existing OS. They actually set up a new environment which makes it a simpler way for developers to deploy dev-test scenarios.
- One more way the virtual machine is used is whenever any new operating system is released, first, it was tried on the virtual machine for its proper testing and working.
