What is a benefit of a Type 1 hypervisor implementation over a Type 2 hypervisor environment?
- Type 1 hypervisor systems are immune to hacker attacks and VM escape exploits.
- Type 1 hypervisors do not require a separate operating system be loaded on the host machine.
- Machines running Type 1 hypervisors can also run other host-based applications simultaneously.
- Console software on the Type 1 hypervisor host system prevents or limits VM sprawl.
| Explanation & Hint:
A Type 1 hypervisor system interfaces directly with the host hardware and does not require that a separate server operating system, such as Windows or Linux, be loaded on the host system. Type 2 hypervisors are software systems that run on the host operating system. |
