Correct Answer: BD

A bare-metal hypervisor (Type 1) is a layer of software we install directly on top of a physical server and its underlying hardware. There is no software or any operating system in between, hence the name bare-metal hypervisor. A Type 1 hypervisor is proven in providing excellent performance and stability since it does not run inside Windows or any other operating system.

These are the most common type 1 hypervisors:

• VMware vSphere with ESX/ESXi 
• KVM (Kernel-Based Virtual Machine) 
• Microsoft Hyper-V 
• Oracle VM 
• Citrix Hypervisor (formerly known as Xen Server)
