2. Types of Hypervisors

Type 1 Hypervisor (Bare-Metal Hypervisor): Type 1 hypervisors run directly on the physical hardware and do not require an underlying operating system. They have direct access to hardware resources, making them more efficient and suitable for enterprise-level virtualization deployments.

Type 2 Hypervisor (Hosted Hypervisor): Type 2 hypervisors run on top of a host operating system. They are typically used for desktop virtualization and are easier to set up and use for testing and development purposes.
