A virtual machine (VM) is an environment on a host computer that can be used as if it were a separate physical computer.
With the rest of the system configured and data being shared over a network, the final step to consider for first time setup is installing any of the application solutions.
Applications or features added to TrueNAS are created in separate plugins, jails, or virtual machines that are kept separate from the base TrueNAS operating system. If anything goes wrong or a security vulnerability is exploited in one of these application environments, TrueNAS remains unaffected.
