A hypervisor is what makes virtualization possible as it is the control system of the created virtual machines. It is a software that can either sit on top of the operating system or be installed directly on the hardware. Its primary responsibility is to take that physical resources that are available and distribute them to one or more VMs.
The hypervisor is a crucial part of virtualization since it acts as a barrier between the host operating system and the virtual machines, effectively making it two completely separate entities on one physical device. Its primary ability is to simulate hardware components in the host operating system that the VMs will run on.
