Dedicated Virtual Machine

C.

The emulated machine that has dedicated compute, memory, and storage resources and a fully installed operating system is known as a virtual machine (VM). A virtual machine is a software implementation of a machine that behaves like a physical computer, with its own virtualized hardware components, such as CPU, memory, network interfaces, and storage devices.

A virtual machine runs on top of a hypervisor, which is a software layer that creates a virtualization environment and allows multiple virtual machines to share the resources of a physical host. The hypervisor abstracts the underlying physical hardware and presents a virtualized view of the resources to each virtual machine.

Each virtual machine has its own isolated operating system and applications, which can be different from those of the host machine. This makes virtual machines an ideal solution for testing and development, as well as for running multiple operating systems on a single physical machine.

Virtual machines can be created, configured, and managed using virtualization software, such as VMware, Hyper-V, or VirtualBox. Virtual machines can also be provisioned and managed using cloud-based services, such as Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure, or Google Compute Engine.

In summary, a virtual machine is an emulated machine that provides a fully isolated and configurable environment with its own dedicated compute, memory, and storage resources, and a fully installed operating system.
