Kernel Insights

What is Kernel?

The kernel is the core of an operating system, providing essential services for managing system resources like the CPU, memory, and I/O devices. It acts as a bridge between applications and the hardware, handling tasks such as process management, memory allocation, and device drivers. Different types of kernels exist, including monolithic, microkernels, and hybrid kernels, each with its own architecture and trade-offs.
