A network administrator is evaluating virtualization architecture requirements for an enterprise branch deployment. The design calls for a bare-metal Type 1 hypervisor installation on physical host hardware. Which two operational characteristics are associated with this virtualization approach? (Select two.)
- The hypervisor installs directly on host hardware without requiring an underlying host operating system.Answer
- Virtual machines interact with hardware resources through a management software layer operating directly on bare metal.Answer
- CThe hypervisor operates as an application software layer on top of an existing host operating system such as Windows or Linux.
- DNetwork latency for intra-host virtual machine traffic is higher than in Type 2 hypervisors due to mandatory host operating system protocol stack traversal.
Answer
The correct characteristics of a Type 1 hypervisor architecture are that the hypervisor installs directly on host hardware without requiring an underlying host operating system, and virtual machines access physical hardware resources through a management software layer operating directly on bare metal.
Type 1 hypervisors (bare-metal) install and run directly on physical host hardware without a general-purpose host operating system underneath. As a result, the hypervisor directly controls physical CPU, memory, storage, and network interfaces, delivering higher performance and lower latency for tenant virtual machines.
