Virtualization: Type 1 Hypervisor
A Type 1 hypervisor, also known as a bare-metal hypervisor, is a virtualization technology that operates directly on the physical hardware of a host machine, without the need for an underlying operating system. Unlike Type 2 hypervisors, which run on top of a host operating system, Type 1 hypervisors manage virtual machines (VMs) at the…
