Use-case: Providing isolated environments for development, testing, and deployment. A VM is an emulation of a computer system that provides the functionality of a physical computer.

Use-case: Running multiple operating systems on a single physical machine. A hypervisor, also known as a virtual machine monitor (VMM), is software that creates and manages virtual machines (VMs) by abstracting the hardware components.

Use-case: Deploying and running distributed applications without launching an entire VM for each app. Containers provide a portable, consistent environment for applications across different environments.

Use-case: Providing end-users with a virtualized desktop environment hosted on a central server. VDI technology allows users to access their desktop from any device with internet.

Use-case: Flexible management of network resources by decoupling the control plane from the data plane. SDN allows administrators to programmatically initialize, control, change, and manage network behavior dynamically.

Use-case: Automating, scaling, and managing containerized applications. Kubernetes is an open-source platform for container orchestration.

Use-case: Transforming traditional network services from hardware devices to software applications. NFV virtualizes network services that have traditionally been carried out by hardware appliances.

Use-case: Simplifying the packaging, distribution, installation, and execution of applications. Docker is a platform that enables software to be packaged into containers.

Use-case: Enables complete simulation of the underlying hardware to allow an unmodified guest OS to be run in isolation. Full virtualization uses binary translation and hardware assistance to abstract the hardware for the VM.

Use-case: Running applications on clients without having to install them on end-user devices. Application virtualization separates the execution of the application from the underlying OS.

Use-case: Maximizing server resources by running multiple server tasks on one physical server as separate virtual servers. Server virtualization can lead to cost savings and improved efficiency.

Use-case: Managing storage from multiple network storage devices as if it were a single storage device. Storage virtualization is beneficial for backup, archiving, and recovery purposes.

Use-case: Enhancing the performance of virtual machines by allowing more direct access to the underlying hardware. Unlike full virtualization, paravirtualization requires the guest OS to be aware of the hypervisor.

Use-case: Separating the desktop environment from the physical device, which can be accessed over a network. Desktop virtualization enables remote work and centralized desktop management.
