### Virtualization

**```There is a lot of talk about virtualization, but here we will talk about hardware virtualization.```**

- Hardware Virtualization: This involves creating virtual machines (VMs) that emulate a complete hardware environment, including:
- CPU.
- memory.
- storage.
- network components.
- We can do this by adding another layer, which is called a ```hypervisor```.
- Hypervisor: ```software``` or ```firmware``` that creates and manages VMs. It allows multiple operating systems to share a single hardware host.
- Types of Hypervisors:
- Type 1 (Bare Metal): runs directly on the host's hardware to control the hardware and to manage guest operating systems.
- Type 2 (Hosted): runs on a standard operating system, just like other computer programs. This type is usually used for testing and development.

- Check out the figure for more explanation.
