Xen is a hypervisor (virtual machine monitor)
- Creates and launches virtual machines
- Keeps machines isolated
- Provides memory management and cpu scheduling
- I/O interrupt processing
- Event and memory channel between domains
A host domain provides control and management functions for the virtual machines through the VMM (usually has access to a privileged VMM API)
A guest domain is an isolated environment containing operating system and application software. This software runs unprivileged, but it may not be aware of that fact.
A virtual machine (VM) provides a faithful implementation of a physical processor's hardware running in a protected and isolated environment.
A virtual machine monitor (VMM) is responsible for allocating resources (CPU, memory, networking, storage) for domains and scheduling domains. It presents domains with a virtual machine. The VMM may implement the instruction set for any processor in a virtual machine. If it implements the instruction set for the processor on which it is running, it is called a hypervisor. The VMM runs as a privileged task on a physical processor.
