Virtual machines on cloud
As the name suggests, virtual machines (VMs) are not real systems. Instead, they are a computer file, called an image, which emulates the behavior of an actual computer. Thus, we can create a virtual computer within a computer. It runs on your existing OS, almost like any other program, providing you the same experience as you would have on a physical system with the same configuration (albeit with some latency).
Each virtual machine has its own virtual hardware, including CPUs, GPUs, memory, hard drives, network interfaces, and other devices. The cloud service providers allow you to create a virtual machine on their physical hardware using VM services. This section will cover how to create a virtual machine on the three cloud service providers, and features offered by them.
