PC users can use different types of operating systems in their work. Sometimes it is very necessary, being in one OS, to use the functions of another, and rebooting is undesirable. There is a great solution - “virtual machines”. Among the most famous in the global IT market is VirtualBox. What are its features? How is the network setup necessary for working with VirtualBox implemented?
What is VirtualBox?
VirtualBox is, as we noted above, a “virtual machine”. In other words, this is a software environment that allows you to load a particular operating system in almost full mode when the user is in the interface of another OS.

Of course, in addition to Ubuntu, other Linux operating systems are compatible with “virtual machine” algorithms. Among those that are great for use with VirtualBox are CentOS. Network configuration in this Linux distribution will be based on algorithms that are generally similar to those that we used when working with Ubuntu.
