# 1. Working with VM

## <mark style="color:green;">Overview</mark>

{% hint style="info" %}
**A Virtual Machine (VM)** is a software computer that, like a physical computer, runs an operating system and applications. The virtual machine consists of a set of specification and configuration files and is backed by the physical resources of a host. Every virtual machine has devices that provide the same functionality as physical hardware but are more portable, secure, and easier to manage.
