Virtual machines (VMs) have transformed infrastructure deployment and management. VMs are so ubiquitous that I can’t think of a single instance where I deployed production code to a bare metal server in my many years as a professional software engineer. VMs provide secure, isolated environments hosting your choice of operating system while sharing the resources of the underlying server. This allows resources to be allocated more efficiently, reducing the cost of over-provisioned hardware.

Digital Twins is becoming an ideal technology solution for manufacturers and process engineers that helps companies to monitor operations in real-time, control and even enable machines to learn, improve and heal themselves.
