Question - What is a Hypervisor?
Answer -
A Virtual machine monitor, known as Hypervisor, is software to create and run virtual machines. It allows a single host computer to support more than one guest VMs. This is done by sharing resources like memory, processing, etc., thus reducing the memory, space, and maintenance requirements. There are two types of hypervisor:
- Type I: it is like a lightweight operating system that runs on the host's hardware.
- Type II: runs like software programs on an operating system.
