0x364 Virtualization
1. Native Hypervisor (Type-1)
installed on bare metal, e.g. Hyper-V
1.1. x86 virtualization
There are two implementation in x86, one is to use hardware support from [ring-1]((https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_virtualization) enabled by Intel VT-x or AMD-V. An alternative approach is to use hypercall.
2. Hosted Hypervisor (Type-2)
installed on OS, e.g. virtualbox
3. OS Virtualization (Container)
e.g. docker
It is vital to understand that a running container shares the kernel of the hostmachine. This means Windows container needs to run on a Windows OS, linux container on a linux OS. There are exceptions: linux container can be run on Windows using Hyper-V or WSL, it can run on Mac OS using lightweight linux VM
