Why each option
A bare-metal hypervisor, also known as a Type 1 hypervisor, runs directly on the host hardware, managing the operating system of each guest virtual machine.
A bare-metal hypervisor, commonly referred to as a Type 1 hypervisor, runs directly on the host's hardware without an underlying operating system. It directly controls the hardware resources and distributes them among the guest virtual machines, providing superior performance and security compared to hosted hypervisors.
A Type 2 hypervisor, also known as a hosted hypervisor, runs as an application on top of a traditional operating system, which then manages the virtual machines.
Type 3 and Type 4 are not standard classifications for hypervisor types.
