As it is Chegg policy to answer one question per answer. Hence, I am answering the first question and request you to please post the rest of the question individually. Thank you.

1) List and discuss 4 tools used to configure and manage a Type 1 hypervisor?

Before we jump into the tools let me first clear out what the Type 1 Hypervisors are. So let's start now:

Type 1 Hypervisors:

• These are the hypervisors which are native to the system and can be installed and run directly on the system hardware making it highly effective for certain kind of tasks.
• They provide higher performance than that of the Type 2 Hypervisors and also have higher availability than Type 2 Hypervisors.
• The security feature in the Type 1 Hypervisors is the most useful feature as it is highly secure and can be maintained accordingly.
• It requires higher skills to operate as it is a bit complex than the Type 2 Hypervisors and require the administrator to be a bit more active while operating these hypervisors.

Now, talking about tools we will list the best tools available for managing and configuring the Type 1 Hypervisors. The tools are as follows:

1. VMware:
   • It is one of the best tools in the market for Type 1 Hypervisors as it contains specific features such as:
     • Type 1 Bare metal
     • It consists of its own kernel
     • It consists of vMotion and Storage vMotion.
     • It has an additional feature of Fault Tolerance.
2. Microsoft Hyper-V:
   • The Hyper-V Microsoft is good for running in the small businesses and is also the best software when using the Windows operating system.
   • It has some pretty awesome features such as:
     • Live Migration
     • Storage Migration
     • Extensible Virtual Switches
     • Creating Dynamic Memory
3. VirtualBox:
   • This software makes managing hypervisors mature and stable too.
   • It is the best alternative for the expensive servers and the virtualization of the desktop.
   • It has multiple host resource pools and also automates the workflows accordingly.
4. KVM:
   • It is an open source software and also has a mature hypervisor.
   • It can capture configuration snapshots which is one of the additional features so that the configuration can be memorized in the form of the image.
   • There is numerous guest operating systems in which the KVM works as it is most suitable to run for personal and small-medium devices or solutions.

Hence, these are some of the finest tools for managing and configuring a Type 1 Hypervisor and the reason behind it.
