A type 2 hypervisor, also known as a hosted hypervisor, runs on top of a host operating system rather than directly on the hardware. This makes it ideal for client or end-user systems where ease of use and flexibility are more important than performance. Type 2 hypervisors are typically used for development, testing, or educational purposes where full virtualization of the underlying hardware is not necessary.
