Is there any common terminology used to talk about virtual machine configurations?
Yes – Internal to Microsoft we typically use the following; · Native = System without the Hyper-V role. This means you have no virtual drivers, virtual switch, … · Root = Most people call this the host however we refer to the management partition of Hyper-V as the root because it is technically not a hosted VM solution. You can also think of this as the OS that boots Hyper-V and handles the management of VMs, devices, memory and other share VM resources. · Guest = Guest Virtual Machine. · 8p.child.2x1p or better 8p.child.
