問題文
An engineer installs virtualization software on a laptop that already runs a desktop operating system, and uses it to run a guest alongside the usual applications. Which classification applies, and what follows from it?
選択肢
- It is a type 2 hypervisor, so the guest's access to the hardware is mediated by the host operating system that was already there.
- It is a container runtime, since it shares the host kernel, which means the guest can never boot a kernel version different from the one already on the laptop.
- It is a type 1 hypervisor once the guest is powered on, so the classification changes as soon as the desktop applications were closed and the guest was the only thing still running.
- It is a type 1 hypervisor, because the software that creates the guest is what decides how much processor time that guest receives, and any component that makes such a decision is by definition placed directly on the hardware rather than above another operating system.
