Physical hardware is one of the main parts of cloud infrastructure. It includes
Virtualization is the technology needed to separate physical hardware from software services and functions. These are separated with the help of a hypervisor. It abstracts
making the virtual resources into clouds.
Storage is a place where all data is stored. And it can be across many diskі in a single storage section. Therefore, it is vital to store your data correctly and back up it. The data should be indexed for retrieval and be up-to-date.
