What is Virtual Machine management?

Virtual Machine (VM) management involves the administration, control, and optimization of virtual machines within a computing environment. It encompasses tasks such as VM creation, deployment, configuration, monitoring, resource allocation (CPU, memory, storage, network), snapshotting, cloning, migration, backup, and overall lifecycle management. VM management tools and platforms, such as VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and open-source solutions like oVirt and Proxmox VE, enable administrators to efficiently manage virtualized infrastructure, improve resource utilization, enhance scalability, and streamline IT operations in cloud computing and on-premises environments.
