View definitionMemory Ballooning
Memory ballooning lets a hypervisor reclaim guest memory through a balloon driver when host memory is under pressure.
View definitionMemory Compression VMware
VMware memory compression stores some reclaimable guest memory in compressed host RAM to reduce swapping to disk.
View definitionMemory Overcommitment
Memory overcommitment allocates more virtual memory than available physical RAM, relying on workload behavior and reclamation.
View definitionNested Virtualization
Nested virtualization allows a hypervisor to run inside a virtual machine when supported by the host and CPU.
