Hypervisor:
- “Virtual machine manager” are also called as hypervisor.
- The physical computer actual hardware is called as host machine and where an application programs are run is called as virtual machine manager.
- The function of the hypervisor is to create and manage the virtual machine and also it controls the interaction established between virtual and physical machine.
