Bare Metal
In plain terms
A physical server dedicated to one tenant, without virtualization.
Going deeper
Bare-metal servers give direct access to hardware with no hypervisor overhead, maximizing performance and control. They suit demanding or compliance-bound workloads.
Under the hood
No virtualization layer means full performance but less elasticity; provisioning is slower than VMs.
Examples
High-performance computing, databases, gaming servers, low-latency trading.
Think of it like...
Like owning the whole car instead of carpooling, full power, no sharing.
