Explanation
A hypervisor is software that creates and manages virtual machines (VMs) by virtualizing the physical hardware of a host system. It presents a layer of virtualized hardware to each guest operating system, allowing multiple OS instances to run concurrently on a single physical machine. The hypervisor manages CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources among the VMs, ensuring they operate independently from each other.
