Now you know how to set up and build a new guest machine and understand the various settings from a virtual hardware and management perspective. This helps if you are building everything from the ground up and planning accordingly as per your new requirements. However, environments hosting physical servers with critical roles, that may be running legacy operating systems or applications or building the same roles from scratch on a virtual machine, would not be a feasible idea.
