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 is virtual machine concept?
A 'virtual machine' is a software program which emulates another machine type. The virtual machine behaves exactly like the machine it emulates but uses the physical hardware of the machine it is running on. In other words, it translates calls intended for the virtual machine into calls that will execute upon the physical machine, effectively acting as an interpreter between the two machines.
What are the two major classifications for virtual machines?
Virtual machines are divided into two major classifications, based on their use and degree of correspondence to any real machine. They are either a system virtual machine or a process virtual machine.
Why do modern machines consist of multiple levels of virtual machines?
Modern machines do not consist of multiple levels of virtual machines; that is a function of the host operating system's virtual machine manager and its guest operating systems, all of which are implemented through software. The operating system's virtual machine manager exposes one or more virtual machines upon which you can host one or more guest operating systems and their applications. In order to execute compiled Java applications upon one of these guest operating systems you will also need to install the Java virtual machine for that specific operating system. Thus you end up with a Java program executing within a Java virtual machine executing within a virtual machine executing within a virtual machine manager executing upon the physical hardware. The physical hardware itself may be optimised to handle virtual machine managers more efficiently, but the virtual machine manager is a software program; it is not part of the physical machine architecture
Does the C plus plus programming language use a virtual machine?
No, it does not. But Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 allows you to connect to a virtual machine and run your projects "sandboxed".
What 2 components need to support hardware-based virtualization?
Hardware-based virtualization requires two key components: a compatible CPU with virtualization extensions, such as Intel's VT-x or AMD's AMD-V, which enable efficient management of virtual machines. Additionally, a hypervisor, which is software that creates and manages virtual machines, is essential for orchestrating resources and isolating environments. Together, these components allow multiple operating systems to run concurrently on a single physical machine with improved performance and security.
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 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 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!!
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.
Which category of hypervisor does the Microsoft Virtual PC belong?
Type 2
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.
Is it safe to have a virus in a virtual machine?
No. Any data stored on the virtual hard drives of the virtual machines is stored on the hard drive of the host system. When any VMs are in "suspended" state, their RAM content is also saved on the hosts hard drive. Any malware which can access these files can read and modify their content. Another attack vector would be to target the hypervisor process directly and inject code into it. When one controls the hypervisor, one controls the virtual machines it executes. A malware called Crisis has been spotted in the wild which targets virtual machine images on the machine it runs on. An attack from the host system circumvents most security features a guest system could have, which means that it would be almost impossible to harden a guest system against this kind of attack.
