If you need to run VMs on a computer with an installed operating system such as Linux, Windows or macOS, choose a type 2 hypervisor.

If your environment requires maximum performance, choose a type 1 hypervisor.

Examples: Oracle VirtualBox, VMware Workstation, VMware Player, and VMware Fusion.

Best for: running VMs on personal computers.

They provide virtualization services by coordinating calls for CPU, memory, disk, and other input/output resources through the host OS.

Type 2 hypervisors run on existing host operating systems as an application and are also called hosted hypervisors.

Best for: large production environments.

They don’t require an underlying operating system (OS) because the hypervisor works as the operating system in this case.

Type 1 hypervisors, or native hypervisors, can run on bare metal by accessing the hardware directly.

The created VMs are logically isolated from each other and independent from the underlying physical machine. Hypervisors abstract the physical machines software from the underlying hardware resources. Using a hypervisor simplifies the copying of machines from one server to another and the distribution of hardware resources between VMs. This provides several advantages, including agility and resource saving.

Each point in the table will be covered in more detail in the next sections.Ī hypervisor is a software product that allows you to create and run multiple virtual machines (guest machines) on a single physical machine (host machine).

Let’s start with an overview of the most important characteristics of Oracle VirtualBox vs VMware virtualization products (Workstation Player, Workstation Pro, Fusion Player, Fusion Pro and ESXi).

For example, to be used with puppy_ bionicpup64_8.0.sfs an fdrv.sfs must be named fdrv_ bionicpup64_8.0.DISCOVER SOLUTION VirtualBox vs VMware Comparison Table Also remember that the initrd(.?z) of your Puppy will only use appropriately named an zdrv.sfs and fdrv.sfs. Remember that "a" kernel consists of the vmlinuz, the zdrv.sfs (drivers-specific to that vmlinuz) and often an fdrv.sfs (firmware which can be used with any vmlinuz).

But it might be faster to just download the Puppy perdido identified, unpack its ISO and use the kernel it contains. You may be able to locate an appropriate 'hugh-kernel' package. Perdido's posts identify the kernels used. If your Puppy is not among those, as an alternative to building your own Virtualbox application, it may be less problematic to use one of perdido's builds and swap your Puppy's current kernel. Perdido has gratiously provided virtualbox.sfses for "Many Puppies", viewtopic.php?p=1552#p1552. With rare exceptions, the file-and-window managers and other applications contained in Puppy_VERSION_Number.sfs will be fully functional under any Kernel, subject to the 32-64bit dichotomy exception. While Virtualbox is kernel specific, Puppys are not. The instructions are necessary because Virtualbox is 'kernel-specific': has to be build against the kernel under which it is to be used.
