Isäntähypervisor
Isäntähypervisor, also known as a Type 1 hypervisor, is a software layer that allows multiple operating systems to run on a single physical computer. It is installed directly onto the hardware, acting as the foundational operating system for the virtualized environment. This direct hardware access gives the isäntähypervisor a significant advantage in terms of performance and efficiency compared to Type 2 hypervisors, which run on top of a host operating system.
The primary function of an isäntähypervisor is to abstract the underlying hardware resources such as CPU, memory,
Key components of an isäntähypervisor include a kernel that manages hardware access and resource allocation, and
