+title: Hypervisor
+status: Feedback Appreciated

+
+## What it is
+
+A hypervisor enables [virtualization](/virtualization/)
+by taking the advantage of [bare metal machine](/bare-metal-machine/) resources
+(CPU, Memory, Network, and Storage), dividing them into sub-parts, 
+and allocating resources accordingly to create  [virtual machines (VM)](/virtual-machine/)
+until the underlying host reaches its performance limits.
+
+## Problem it addresses
+
+Traditionally, a server could only run applications of a single operating system.
+The process of acquiring software takes time. It requires infrastructure with a specific environment
+and a team of engineers to manage and monitor them.
+Servers were underutilized, considering the computing power of a server it can run multiple operating systems and more applications.
+Running applications on bare metal wasn't enough to match the needs of fluctuating traffic.
+
+## How it helps
+
+In the context of [cloud computing](/cloud-computing/), the hypervisor becomes an effective tool.
+In contrast to the traditional method of creating a virtual machine, a hypervisor makes the process much simpler and faster. 
+Hardware resources are logically partitioned and assigned to the VMs keeping them isolated as distinct units,
+ensuring they function independently so that issues on one don't affect the others,
+and allowing VMs to install any necessary operating system.
+A hypervisor is an abstraction over the physical hardware, it takes care of those low-level complexities of managing the VMs and monitoring them,
+making VMs loosely bound to hardware, enabling organizations to migrate their applications to the remote servers/cloud 
+and autoscale their services.
+Over time, the use of this [multi-tenant](/multitenancy/) software has reduced computing costs.
