A Type 2 hypervisor, also known as a hosted hypervisor, is a virtual machine manager that runs as an application on an existing operating system. It allows users to create and manage multiple virtual machines (VMs) using their own hardware resources. Unlike a Type 1 hypervisor, which runs directly on the hardware, a Type 2 hypervisor is installed on top of an existing operating system. Type 2 hypervisors are typically used in consumer-level virtualization scenarios such as running multiple operating systems on a single PC.
