Week 7 - One Box with Many Tricks

Virtualization is a game-changer in IT. Instead of relying on a bunch of physical machines, you can run multiple virtual ones on a single piece of hardware. It’s like having a bunch of computers inside one computer. We can thank to hypervisors for that. Hypervisors are key to virtualization and power tools like VirtualBox and VMware. This setup saves money, boosts efficiency, and makes managing systems way easier. Virtualization also plays a big role in cloud computing, helping teams scale up without needing racks of servers. If you're breaking into IT, wrapping your head around virtualization is a solid move.
