Virtualization is the process of creating a virtual version of something, such as an operating system, a server, a storage device, or network resources.
Hypervisor is a software that creates and manages virtual machines, allowing multiple operating systems to run on a single physical machine.
Virtualization can be achieved through different methods such as full virtualization, para-virtualization, and hardware-assisted virtualization.
Hypervisors can be classified into two types: Type 1 hypervisors run directly on the host's hardware, while Type 2 hypervisors run on top of an existing operating system.
Examples of virtualization software include VMware, VirtualBox, and Hyper-V, while examples of hypervisors include Xen, KVM, and VMware ESXi.
