Virtual machines, or in short VMs, can have slower performance compared to running directly on physical hardware due to resource sharing and ululation. And that is why the next one is a resource contention, that's what it creates. So when multiple VMs run on the same physical machine, they compete for CPU, memory and storage, which can lead to performance degradation if resource are insufficient. Then the next one is complex management. Managing a large number of virtual machines can become complex, requiring specialized tools and expertise to monitoring, troubleshooting, and updating. And of course it requires a lot of human resources or human manpower to manage those virtual machines. Alright, moving on to the next one, which is the security risks. Virtualization introduces additional security concern such as vulnerabilities and the hypervisor or VM escape, where…
