Bare metal: Hardware can be accessed directly. VMs: They run on top of a hypervisor, abstracting physical hardware and sharing resources with other VMs.
Bare metal: Offers better raw performance since there's no overhead from virtualization. VMs: May have some overhead from the hypervisor, but modern virtualization technologies have minimized this.
Bare metal: Allocate all resources to a single instance. VMs: Allow flexible resource allocation, enabling multiple virtual servers to run on a single physical machine.
Bare metal: Less flexible in terms of resource allocation and scalability. VMs: provide flexibility and scalability, making them suitable for workloads with variable resource requirements.
Bare metal: Good for applications that require full access to hardware resources and high performance. VMs: Suitable for workloads with variable resource requirements.
