The key difference between a Type 1 (bare-metal) and a Type 2 (hosted) hypervisor lies in their architecture and how they interact with the hardware. A Type 1 hypervisor, also known as a bare-metal hypervisor, runs directly on the hardware. This means there is no underlying operating system between the hypervisor and the physical hardware. Examples of Type 1 hypervisors include VMware ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-V Server. Because it runs directly on the hardware, a Type 1 hypervisor has direct access to system resources, resulting in better performance and efficiency. It also tends to be mo....
