  1. 2. process of running a virtual instance of a computer system in a layer abstracted from the actual hardware.
  2. 4. the guest is packaged into a virtual image that can be safely moved and executes on top of different virtual machines.
  3. 7. guest programs can be shared, aggregated and emulated.
  4. 8. guest programs are executed within an environment that is controlled by a virtualisation layer, which ultimately is a program.
Down
  1. 1. operations of the guest programs are generally performed against virtual machine, which then translates and applies them to the host programs.
  2. 3. allows the creation of a seperate computing environment within the same host.
  3. 5. group of seperate hosts can be tied together and represented to guests as a single virtual host.
  4. 6. virtualisation allows providing guests with a completely seperate environment, in which they are executed.
