now a set of linux machines is considered bare-metal?

I was under the impression that bare-metal means "no OS".




The term bare-metal in this context means installing and managing Linux (or your OS of choice) on hardware directly without a Hypervisor is considered a bare-metal deployment. It's never meant no operating system.


In this context it's running without the use of virtualisation
