👉 Mounting compute resources refers to the process of connecting and allocating virtualized computing resources, such as CPU cores, memory, storage, and network interfaces, to a virtual machine (VM) or a container within a cloud environment. This is achieved through hypervisors, which act as intermediaries between the physical hardware and the virtualized resources. By mounting compute resources, cloud providers can efficiently distribute workloads across multiple VMs or containers, allowing for scalable and flexible computing environments. This process is crucial for optimizing resource utilization, enabling multi-tenancy, and supporting dynamic scaling based on demand. Mounting compute resources typically involves configuring network settings, allocating storage volumes, and setting up virtual CPU and memory pools within the hypervisor environment.
