Terminology

What is the difference between a virtual appliance and a virtual machine?

A virtual machine is a tightly isolated software container created to run on virtualized platforms. It has four key virtualized resources (CPU, RAM, Storage, and Networking); but requires the installation of an Operating System and runs on one or more applications. A virtual appliance functions very much like a virtual machine, possessing the four key characteristics of compatibility, isolation, encapsulation, and hardware independence. However, a virtual appliance contains a pre-installed, pre-configured Operating System and an application stack optimized to provide a specific set of services.
