What feature allows a processor to run multiple operating systems on a single hardware platform by sharing resources such as memory and processing time?
Hardware Virtualization or Virtualization Technology is a feature of many modern CPUs that allows a single processor to act like multiple individual systems, called virtual machines (VMs). This feature enables the CPU to run multiple operating systems on one physical hardware platform by managing the division and scheduling of resources in an efficient manner. It is a critical capability for running virtual environments used in many businesses to maximize hardware utilization and isolate different computing tasks.
