Explanation
Bare metal systems: These are physical servers without any virtualization software, so they don't run on top of a hypervisor. Virtual machines: These are software emulations of physical systems, running on top of a hypervisor that manages resources and provides isolation. Containers: While they exist within a virtual machine or directly on the host system, they don't directly run on a hypervisor themselves. Containers share the operating system kernel of the host, while VMs have their own isolated kernels. Applications: Applications run on top of either an operating system (on bare metal or inside a VM/container) or within a container itself. They never directly interact with the hypervisor.
