In this case we're really talking about configuration isolation. If you're running a database and a Web server on one machine and then want to move them onto separate machines, you have to untangle and move the config files. But if they're separate VMs from the start, then there's nothing to untangle.

Again, the process of getting your services to the level that they can run independently (read: non-tangled config files) means that you don't need separate VM's.
