What is Xen?
Xen is a type-1 or bare-metal hypervisor, meaning it runs directly on the hardware without needing an underlying operating system. It is commonly used for server virtualization, providing a platform for running multiple virtual machines (VMs) on a single physical host. Xen is known for its performance and security features, making it suitable for cloud computing and other enterprise virtualization scenarios.
