VMWare, a short form of “VirtualMachine Ware”. A cloud computing company that develops virtualization software, management, and networking interfaces or tools. It provides hypervisor tools or products that help in running virtual machines, clusters, and containers. By using this software we can virtualize the computer with required computing resources and hardware customization on the actual computer (Physical computer). We need the VMware application and Ubuntu ISO file.
