In Figure 1 a comparison between different virtualization systems is illustrated
and demonstrates how the degree of separation between a "guest application" and
the hardware and “host” becomes further removed.
The defined job of the host OS and kernel or hypervisor became that of
1) to juggle the runtime of multiple applications and environments;
2) to present a subset or non-contiguous representation of hardware resources
virtually and translate operations, and provide emulation and compatibility
between guest and host; and,
3) to ultimately guard access to them to prevent corruption or malicious attacks.
