Introduction to VMware

VMware features

Virtual machine settings (multi-core selection for running virtual machines in virtual machines)

The role of creating snapshots in a virtual machine: for example, you start a Linux system, it took a long time, in order to be faster in the next use of the pneumatic head Linux system, you can directly click on the last created snapshot can quickly start Linux system.

The role of creating clones in VMware is: If you need more than one Linux virtual machine, but if you go to install more than one Linux will take a lot of time, and your work only need this time to use more than one Linux, the next time you do not need, the way is to clone the current Linux, The advantage of this is that the cloned Linux takes up very little resources, but can still run to meet your requirements compared to the original Linux.
(Cannot create a clone for a virtual machine or snapshot that is in an open or suspended state)
