Description: Host system resources refer to the hardware components available in a physical machine that are used to run virtual machines. These resources include the CPU, RAM, storage, and network bandwidth. Efficient management of these resources is crucial to ensure optimal performance of virtual machines, as each one requires a portion of the host system’s resources to operate correctly. Resource allocation can be static or dynamic, depending on the hypervisor’s configuration and the needs of the applications running on the virtual machines. The ability to scale and adjust resources according to demand is one of the most valued features in virtualization environments, allowing organizations to optimize their infrastructure and reduce operational costs. Additionally, monitoring these resources is essential to prevent bottlenecks and ensure that virtual machines have access to the necessary resources for their operation. In summary, host system resources are fundamental to virtualization, as they determine the capacity and performance of the virtual machines running in a shared environment.
