Abstract Hypervisors, fundamental in cloud computing, facilitate the operation of multiple virtual machines on a single physical hardware system. This technology enables efficient resource utilization, cost savings, and improved scalability in cloud environments. As the backbone of virtualization, hypervisors have a pivotal role in diverse cloud services and deployments. This abstract explores the significance of hypervisors in cloud computing, emphasizing their role in managing multiple virtual environments, optimizing hardware resources, and ensuring security and isolation among virtual machines. In this context, we delve into key hypervisor types, such as Type 1 (bare-metal) and Type 2 (hosted), discussing their functionalities, performance, and compatibility. Moreover, we examine prominent hypervisor solutions like VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and open- source options such as KVM and Xen, considering their features, performance, and support for various operating systems. Understanding hypervisors' importance and their role in cloud infrastructure is essential for businesses and users seeking the optimal virtualization solution for their specific requirements. Keywords: Hypervisor, Virtualization, Cloud Computing, VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM, Xen. Understanding the nuances of hypervisors in cloud computing is crucial for businesses and organizations seeking the ideal balance between performance, security, and cost- efficiency. By abstracting physical hardware, they enable the consolidation of multiple VMs onto a single server, optimizing resource allocation and enhancing overall system.
