IMO VM is just another way of saying "computer." A VM is as secure as you make it, just like your Windoze & *nix boxes. -

Two totally different things. DMZ's do not function like VM's -

No. You just virtualise the DMZ, or rather security zones, since it's typical to have more than just an inside, outside and DMZ these days.
I actually ran this infrastructure at a small company. We set up a separate virtual network for external development, with a separate NIC (could be a shared NIC with different VLAN) and access to internet. The external developers could then access this environment without access to the rest of our system - some of which was on the same VM host.2017 Goals - Something Cisco, Something Linux, Agile PM -

The use of dedicated metal for DMZ decreases. DMZ itself doesn't.IT guy since 12/00
Recent: 11/2019 - RHCSA (RHEL 7); 2/2019 - Updated VCP to 6.5 (just a few days before VMware discontinued the re-cert policy...)
Working on: RHCE/Ansible
Future: Probably continued Red Hat Immersion, Possibly VCAP Design, or maybe a completely different path. Depends on job demands...
