Solution

The option that allows running one Operating System (OS) inside another OS is "Virtual machines".

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. Virtual machines (VMs) are software emulations of physical computers. They run an operating system and applications just like a physical computer.

  2. VMs run on a hypervisor, which is a software layer that coordinates the sharing of physical resources (like CPU, memory, and storage) among the VMs.

  3. The hypervisor allows multiple VMs to run on a single physical machine, with each VM isolated from the others. This means you can run different operating systems on each VM, effectively running one OS inside another.

  4. So, if you have a Windows machine, you can use a VM to run Linux (or vice versa) on that same machine, at the same time.

  5. Containers, cloud functions, and dedicated servers do not provide this capability. Containers share the host system’s OS, cloud functions run code snippets in response to events, and dedicated servers are physical servers dedicated to a single tenant.
