  • In a virtualized environment there are three major components: guest, host, and virtualization layer.
  • The guest represents the system component that interacts with the virtualization layer rather than with the host, as would normally happen.
  • The host represents the original environment where the guest is supposed to be managed.
  • The virtualization layer is responsible for recreating the same or a different environment where the guest will operate
  • in the case of hardware virtualization, the guest is represented by a system image Compromising an operating system & installed application
  • These are installed on top of Virtual hardware that is controlled & managed by the Virtualization layer also called Virtual machine mangager
