Virtualization is a technology that allows you to run multiple virtual instances of an operating system on a single physical machine.
Cloud computing is a broader concept that involves the delivery of computing services over the internet.
Virtualization aims to improve resource utilization, increase flexibility, and simplify management.
Cloud computing’s purpose is to provide users with access to a shared pool of computing resources.
Virtualization is often used within an organization's own data center, allowing them to consolidate servers.
Cloud computing involves outsourcing computing resources to third-party providers, who own and manage the infrastructure.
Virtualization primarily deals with creating virtual instances of hardware (VMs) or software (containers).
Cloud computing includes various service models like IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS.
Virtualization operates at a lower level, directly interacting with the hardware and creating multiple virtual instances.
Cloud Computing operates at a higher level of abstraction, focusing on delivering services to end-users.
