- bytefire 8y agogood point. may be the central idea of how it's implemented isn't too bad: i see hypervisor as a sort of OS kernel for VMs and the transitions from VM to hypervisor - VM exits - akin to syscalls. of course there is more but the above analogy is the basic idea and other things get added along the way
