Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How is virtualization managed?
A
By software called a hypervisor that acts as an API (Application Performance Interface) that monitors virtual machines
B
By an administrator who uses software called a hypervisor to create and run virtual machines
C
By an administrator who monitors the virtual machines
D
It is managed centrally and requires no physical interaction to monitor the virtual machines
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A hypervisor, also known as a virtual machine monitor or VMM, is software that creates and runs virtual machines (VMs). A hypervisor allows one host computer to support multiple guest VMs by virtually sharing its resources, such as memory and processing.

Detailed explanation-2: -Virtualization management is software that interfaces with virtual environments and the underlying physical hardware to simplify resource administration, enhance data analyses, and streamline operations.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hyper-V lets you run multiple operating systems as virtual machines on Windows. Hyper-V specifically provides hardware virtualization.

Detailed explanation-4: -Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is an open source virtualization technology built into Linux®. Specifically, KVM lets you turn Linux into a hypervisor that allows a host machine to run multiple, isolated virtual environments called guests or virtual machines (VMs).

Detailed explanation-5: -Virtual machines are made possible through virtualization technology. Virtualization uses software to simulate virtual hardware that allows multiple VMs to run on a single machine. The physical machine is known as the host while the VMs running on it are called guests.
