What does vCPU mean?

virtual CPU (vCPU), also known as virtual Central Processing Unit (vCPU), is a unit of computing power allocated to a Virtual Machine (VM) in a virtualized environment.
vCPU represents a portion of the physical Central Processing Unit (CPU) resources of the host machine that are dedicated to running the virtual machine.

Note:
Virtual Machine (VM) is a software-based emulation of a physical computer system. It enables users to run multiple operating systems and applications on a single physical machine, known as the host machine.
VM acts like a real computer with its own CPU, memory, storage, and operating system, but it's all simulated within a physical machine.
