Let Us Begin with the Big Question: What is Virtualization in Cloud?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Okay, let\u2019s keep it real. I recall when I was asked, the first time, by someone, Hey, do you know how virtualization in cloud works? I froze. I had heard the buzzword a thousand times but I never got it.<\/p>\n

The thing is as follows, virtualization in cloud computing<\/a> is merely a technology that enables us to produce several virtual copies of the hardware, storage, servers or even networks, on the same physical device. Suppose you have a single very powerful computer but you cut it into a large number of smaller computers, each one performing its own task, a virtual computer.<\/p>\n

This is the key ingredient of cloud computing. Cloud, as we know it (Google Drive, AWS, Azure, Netflix, heck even your Instagram), would never have happened without virtualization.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc49 Rapid analogy: Imagine it to be similar to a large pizza \ud83c\udf55. As opposed to a single individual consuming the entire pizza, it is divided into slices. The slices are self-contained, yet each was part of the same pizza. That is how virtualization in the cloud computing works.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udca1<\/strong> Why Cloud Virtualization is More Important than Ever. <\/strong><\/h2>\n

However, now I would like to deconstruct the reason as to why this is not merely tech jargon but something that is going to shape your daily life.<\/p>\n
