A hypervisor, also known as a virtual machine monitor (VMM), is software that creates and manages virtual machines (VMs) on a host system. It allows multiple operating systems to run concurrently on a single physical machine by abstracting the hardware resources. Hypervisors can be categorized into two types: Type 1 (bare-metal), which runs directly on the hardware, and Type 2 (hosted), which runs on top of an existing operating system. This technology is fundamental in cloud computing and virtualization, enabling efficient resource utilization and isolation between different environments.

Why is VMware GSX considered a type 2 hypervisor?
Because it runs on top of OS. In order for it to be type 1 hypervisor, it has to run on bare metal like ESXI.
What are types of 1 hyper visor and two examples of them?
Type-1, native or bare-metal hypervisors. These are the main software operating on the host computer. All the computer does is run the hypervisor - of course with the virtual machines then running on top of that. Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware ESX/ESXi are examples of a "type-1" hypervisor. Type-2 or hosted hypervisors. These run a base OS like Windows or Linux with a hypervisor application running on top of that. The virtual machines run on top of the hypervisor application. VMware Workstation, and VirtualBox are examples of a "type-2" hypervisor.
Can Windows 7 access VHDs without the use of a hypervisor?
yes
Which category of hypervisor does the Microsoft Virtual PC belong?
Type 2
How does a virtual machine appear to a hypervisor?
A virtual machine (VM) appears to a hypervisor as a self-contained, isolated environment that operates like a physical computer. The hypervisor manages the VM's resources, including CPU, memory, and storage, by allocating these resources from the host system to the VM as needed. Each VM has its own virtual hardware, which is simulated by the hypervisor, allowing multiple VMs to run concurrently on the same physical machine without interference. This abstraction enables efficient resource utilization and enhanced flexibility in managing workloads.
What role does a hypervisor play in managing virtual machines within an operating system environment?
A hypervisor is a software that creates and manages virtual machines within an operating system. It acts as a mediator between the physical hardware and the virtual machines, allowing multiple operating systems to run on a single physical machine. The hypervisor allocates resources, such as CPU, memory, and storage, to each virtual machine, ensuring they operate efficiently and securely.
What is the difference between hosted virtualization and hypervisor-based virtualization?
Both VMware's ESX Server 3.5 and Microsoft's Hyper-V are built using a hypervisorbased architecture. This architecture gives both platforms bare-metal performance that significantly outperforms older hosted virtualization products such as Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 and VMware's Virtual Server 2.0. Hosted virtualization products run the virtualization software on top of the host OS, which introduces additional overhead and a longer code execution path for the virtual machines (VMs) that run in the hosted virtualization environment. In contrast, hypervisor-based products such as ESX Server and Hyper-V are designed to run the hypervisor directly on the system hardware. Although ESX Server and Hyper-V both share a similar hypervisor-based architecture, there are significant differences in the way the products are designed. In both cases, the hypervisor runs directly on the system hardware. However, with ESX Server the hardware drivers are all part of the hypervisor, which significantly increases the size of the hypervisor. In addition, the device drivers are created by the hardware vendors, which introduces third-party code into the hypervisor and limits the hardware that ESX Server supports. Even so, ESX Server is supported on most of the server systems made by all the tier-one vendors, such as HP, Dell, and IBM. Many of these vendors also sell systems configurations with VMware ESX Server preloaded.
How does Microsoft detect if your xbox is modded?
When you first connect to live you go trough hv test and hypervisor to make sure your not on a hacked hand.
What does a Virtual Machine software do?
The VM is nothing but has same as phyiscal machine minus the Physical hardware required and there is hypervisor which make the virtualization work!!
Can Windows 7 access VHDs without the use of hypervisor?
Yes, one way is to Right Click Disk Management and Attach or Create a VHD.
What software does a virtual machine use to interface between the host OS and the guest OS?
It's usually called a hypervisor, or virtual machine monitor.
What hypervisor does your product use?
Our product utilizes the KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) hypervisor. KVM is an open-source virtualization technology integrated into the Linux kernel, allowing for efficient and high-performance virtual machine management. It supports a wide range of guest operating systems and offers robust features for resource allocation and isolation. This choice ensures scalability and flexibility for various deployment scenarios.
