Virtualization Technologies - INI
Virtualization technologies logically partition and abstract physical hardware resources to build multiple virtual environments. Broadly categorized into hypervisor-based (VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM, etc.) and container-based (Docker, etc.) types, they are widely used for server consolidation, development environment construction, and as the foundation of cloud computing. In 2024, significant market changes such as VMware's licensing changes have diversified enterprise options.
