Bare Metal

In computing, "bare metal" refers to the physical hardware of a computer system, without any software layers or operating systems installed on it. This term is often used in the context of virtualization to distinguish between hypervisors that run directly on the hardware (bare metal hypervisors) and those that require a host operating system (hosted hypervisors). Bare metal environments are prized for their performance and efficiency, as they allow virtualization solutions to directly access and control the underlying hardware resources without the overhead of an additional operating system layer. Bare metal deployments are common in enterprise environments for server virtualization, cloud computing, and high-performance computing applications. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bare_metal]
