Which type of hypervisor operates without an underlying OS to host virtual machines?
A Type 1 hypervisor, also known as a bare-metal hypervisor, operates directly on the host's hardware without the need for an underlying operating system. This allows it to efficiently manage system resources and provide high performance for virtual machines. Type 1 hypervisors are commonly used in enterprise environments for their robustness and efficiency.
Types of hypervisors. There are two main hypervisor types, referred to as “Type 1” (or “bare metal”) and “Type 2” (or “hosted”). A type 1 hypervisor acts like a lightweight operating system and runs directly on the host’s hardware, while a type 2 hypervisor runs as a software layer on an operating system, like other computer programs.
A is correct. Reference https://phoenixnap.com/kb/what-is-hypervisor-type-1-2#ftoc-heading-3
Type 1 Example: VMware vSphere/ESXi, Windows Server Hyper-V, KVM Type 2 Example: VMware workstation, Virtual Box, QEMU
A is correct
The type of hypervisor that operates without an underlying operating system to host virtual machines is: A. Type 1 A Type 1 hypervisor, also known as a bare-metal hypervisor, interacts directly with the underlying machine hardware
