Paravirtualization vs Fully virtualization - Xen or Hypervisor?
I'm trying to understand what's the difference between paravirtualization and fully virtualization.
1 - As I understand, Paravirtualization means that you have a Paravirtualized OS (OS that has been modified) that runs over a Virtualization layer.
In a Fully Virtualization, you have a Guest OS (unmodified OS) that works over a VMM.
If you have several Guest OSes installed, in a paravirtualization, you need several Virtualization layers, where each one is for one installed Guest OS?
In a fully virtualization, the same VMM is used for all Guest OS?
