Hypervisor

Was first super confused about what exactly is a hypervisor at my second co-op which was at Blackberry QNX. They have a Hypervisor team.

Two Types

  • Type-I: hypervisors allocate HW to VMs in addition to managing them
    • Ex: Xen, VMWare ESXi
  • Type-II: hypervisors rely on host OS for HW management
    • Ex: Virtual Box, VMWare Workstation,KVM
