Virtualization isolates computing resources, which is the technical basis for implementing cloud computing. Cloud computing provides services for on-demand resource access through the network. The meanings of the two parameters are as follows:
Virtualization refers to the virtualization technology that virtualizes a computer into multiple logical computers. A computer runs multiple logical computers at the same time. Each logical computer can run different operating systems, and applications can run in independent space without affecting each other. This greatly improves the working efficiency of the computer. Virtualization implements dynamic allocation, flexible scheduling, and cross-domain sharing of IT resources, improving IT resource utilization, enabling IT resources to become a social infrastructure, and serving flexible application requirements in various industries.
Cloud computing is a computing mode that provides dynamic and scalable virtualization resources through the Internet. Cloud computing is a mode of increasing, using, and delivering Internet-based services. It usually involves providing dynamic, scalable, and often virtualized resources through the Internet.
Cloud computing is a pay-per-use mode. This mode provides available, convenient, and on-demand network access, and enters a configurable computing resource sharing pool (including networks, servers, storage, application software, and services). These resources can be quickly provided, only a small amount of management work is required, or there is little interaction with service providers.
