Hypervisor-based partitioning
Type-1 Hypervisor
Type-1 hypervisors have the function implemented as part of the operating system software or the hardware firmware on a given hardware platform. When the hypervisor is implemented as part of the operating system, this operating system providing the hypervisor function is called the “host” operating system. The operating system running inside a virtual machine (VM) created on the host system is called the “guest” operating system.
