Two types of hypervisors: type 1: installs on a computer before any os and is called a bare-metal hypervisor, type 2: installs in a host os as an application and is called a hosted hypervisor. Vm"s software and hardware characteristics are assigned when it is created in the hypervisor. Can customize the vm with: guest os, amount of memory, hard disk size, processor type and other options. Every vm has its own vnic (virtual nic: can connect the vm tov other machines, operates at the data link layer. Each vm can have several vnics: maximum number depends on the limits imposed by the hypervisor.
