Explanation

A Type 1 hypervisor (also called a bare-metal hypervisor) runs directly on the host hardware without a separate host operating system underneath it. Because it is deeply integrated with the hardware at a firmware or hardware level, the hardware vendor and the software (hypervisor) vendor are often the same entity, delivering the solution as a tightly coupled, purpose-built package. This tight integration is what distinguishes Type 1 from Type 2 hypervisors, which run on top of a conventional host OS and therefore typically involve separate hardware and software vendors.
