Same thing as on a Hypervisor like Hyper-v or VMware

A vCPU translates to a single core on the CPU.

So if you have 4 vCPUs, then you have the equivalent of 4 physical cores available to that VM.

The catch being that you are actually sharing CPU time with other virtual machines, it’s not 100% dedicated to that VM.
