Milliseid virtuaalmasinate tüüpe olete praktikas kasutanud?

In QA practice and automation testing, the following types of virtual machines are often used:

• Full virtual machines (VM): for example, VirtualBox, VMware. They emulate the entire hardware stack, allowing different operating systems to run and testing applications in an isolated environment.
• Lightweight virtual machines (containers): Docker, Podman. They use the host OS kernel and provide process-level isolation, which is faster and more efficient for testing applications.
• Cloud virtual machines: AWS EC2, Azure VM, Google Compute Engine. They enable quick creation and scaling of test environments.

The choice depends on the testing goals: full VMs are often used for integration and system tests, while containers are preferred for microservices and CI/CD.
