Virtual Machine (VM)

A Virtual Machine (VM) is a software emulation of a physical computer that can run programs or applications. For an on-prem environment, one or more VMs can run as guests on a single physical machine. 

For a public cloud environment, virtual machines run in cloud regions. Each VM is a unique machine with its own CPU, memory, network, and storage resources, as well as its own OS.

Turbonomic can discover and manage VMs that run in on-prem and public cloud environments.

For Kubernetes environments, Turbonomic discovers the nodes that provide resources to containers, and presents them as virtual machines in the supply chain.
