What is the key difference between Type 1 (bare-metal) and Type 2 (hosted) hypervisors?

  • Type 1 hypervisors are easier to install than Type 2 hypervisors.
  • Type 1 hypervisors are more expensive than Type 2 hypervisors.
  • Type 1 hypervisors are used for gaming, while Type 2 hypervisors are used for server virtualization.
  • Type 1 hypervisors run directly on the physical hardware, while Type 2 hypervisors run on top of a host operating system.
The key difference is that 'Type 1 hypervisors' run directly on the physical hardware (bare-metal), while 'Type 2 hypervisors' run on top of a host operating system. Type 1 offers better performance and isolation.
