A type 1 hypervisor, also known as a bare metal hypervisor, is a virtualization platform that runs directly on a host‘s hardware to control the hardware and manage guest operating systems. It provides the interface between the hardware and the virtual machines (VMs) and is responsible for allocating resources such as processing, storage, memory and networking to each VM. It also provides security measures such as access control and isolation between VMs. The type 1 hypervisor was designed to make virtualization easier and more efficient, enabling multiple operating systems to run on one physical server.
