# Managing Virtual Machines

## Managing virtual machines

Each virtual machine (VM) is an independent system with an independent set of virtual hardware. Its main features are the following:

* A virtual machine resembles and works like a regular computer. It has its own virtual hardware. Software applications can run in virtual machines without any modifications or adjustment.
* Virtual machine configuration can be changed easily, for example, by adding new virtual disks or memory.
* Although virtual machines share physical hardware resources, they are fully isolated from each other (file system, processes, sysctl variables) and the compute node.
* A virtual machine can run any supported guest operating system.

The following table lists the current virtual machine configuration limits:

| Resource | Limit                    |
| -------- | ------------------------ |
| RAM      | 1 TiB                    |
| CPU      | 64 virtual CPUs          |
| Storage  | 15 volumes, 512 TiB each |
| Network  | 15 NICs                  |
