Description: An instance is a specific realization of an abstraction, such as an object in programming. In the context of computing, it refers to a copy or manifestation of a resource, service, or application that runs in a given environment. Instances can be used to represent objects in object-oriented programming, where each instance of a class has its own state and behavior. In the realm of cloud computing, an instance may refer to a virtual machine or a container running on a server, allowing users to scale and manage resources efficiently. Instances are fundamental to virtualization and container orchestration, as they enable the creation and management of isolated environments for applications and services, facilitating the development, deployment, and scalability of technological solutions.
