Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bare-metal virtualization software, also known as Type 1 hypervisors, are executed directly on the computer's hardware, without the need for a separate operating system. They enable multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server, allowing for hardware consolidation and maximizing resource utilization. Virtual machine monitors (VMMs) are a more general term that can refer to both Type 1 and Type 2 hypervisors, which are executed on top of a host operating system. Virtual switches are used to connect virtual machines to each other or to external networks but are not themselves virtualization software.
