there's further different types of virtual "machines". they used to be called "type 1" and "type 2",
* type 1: runs on bare metal with no OS below it (Xen, HyperV, ESXi, ... vsphere?, others)
* type 2: runs on top of an OS (qemu, virtualbox, vmware workstation, others)
kvm is I guess kind of a mix? You need to use the userspace tools to manage it so it's like qemu (type 2) but the kernel exposes lots of things directly to the guest OS/image (type 1-ish).
