Modern hypervisors use hardware-assisted virtualization, virtualization-specific hardware, primarily from the host CPUs. A hypervisor uses native execution to share and manage hardware, allowing for multiple environments which are isolated from one another, yet exist on the same physical machine. They provide functionality needed to execute entire operating systems. System virtual machines (also termed full virtualization VMs) provide a substitute for a real machine.Virtual machines differ and are organized by their function, shown here: Their implementations may involve specialized hardware, software, or a combination. Virtual machines are based on computer architectures and provide functionality of a physical computer. In computing, a virtual machine ( VM) is the virtualization/ emulation of a computer system.
