Even as cloud native development takes off, many DevOps teams continue to rely on virtual machines (VMs) as part of their toolkit. Part of that growth is due to the way VMs and hypervisors help distributed DevOps teams overcome hurdles.
VirtualBox 7.0, for example, offers built-in integration with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, making it easy for DevOps engineers to test an application against a database stored in the cloud.
Modern hypervisors are being designed and built with DevOps engineers and cloud application development in mind.
It’s proof that for distributed, cloud native DevOps teams, hypervisors continue to be an important tool in the toolbox.
