computer hardware, software resources, and provides common services for computer programs the resources typically include processor, memory, storage, input/output devices, and network connections operating system subsystem a subsystem is a single, predefined operating environment through which the operating system coordinates the work flow and resource use an operating system can contain several subsystems, all operating independently of each other subsystems manage resources appliances pre configured hardware devices combined with specialized software designed to perform dedicated functions (e g , firewall, load balancer) with minimal customization other hardware supporting physical infrastructure not directly acting as compute, network, or storage lpar a logical partition of a physical system that operates as an independent computing environment with allocated processor, memory, and input/output resources logical partitioning is the ability to make a physical device run as if it were two or more independent devices network hardware physical electronic device which is required for communication and interaction between devices on a computer network specifically, it mediates data connectivity and traffic in a computer network server hardware physical machine designed to host and run applications, services, or virtualized workloads it provides functionality for other programs or devices storage hardware technology consisting of computer components and recording media that are used to store, manage and retrieve digital data virtual machine a software based emulation of a physical computer that runs its own operating system and applications on virtualized hardware resources virtual machine cluster a group of interconnected virtual machines or hosts configured to provide high availability, load balancing, or distributed processing datacenter a physical facility that houses computing, networking, and storage infrastructure along with supporting systems such as power and cooling hypervisor software or firmware layer that enables creation and management of virtual machines by abstracting physical hardware resources virtual network a software defined network that provides isolated connectivity and routing for virtualized workloads independent of physical network infrastructure virtual storage abstracted storage resources provided to virtualized environments, decoupled from underlying physical storage hardware aws https //docs aws amazon com/ gcp https //docs cloud google com/docs/product list azure https //learn microsoft com/en
