Virtual machines (VMs) in cloud environments work by simulating physical computers within a virtualized infrastructure. Here's how:

Hypervisor Role: The hypervisor software creates and manages multiple VMs on a single physical server by sharing its hardware resources (CPU, memory, storage).

Virtual Environment: Each VM runs its own operating system and applications, acting as a standalone computer.

Cloud Integration: Cloud providers host these VMs, allowing users to rent and scale them on demand for various tasks like development, testing, or production.

This setup optimizes resources, boosts flexibility, and reduces costs.
