What is a hypervisor?

TL;DR Containers were never built for security. Hypervisors were. Edera gives you the best of both—without the overhead or complexity. So what is a hypervisor? Imagine your computer is a big apartment building. Traditional containers are like roommates—sharing the same kitchen, bathroom, and front door (a.k.a. the Linux kernel). They live together, share everything, and hope no one misbehaves. But sometimes you want privacy. Or you don’t trust your roommates. Or maybe you’re trying to work from home and don’t want someone else’s video streaming slowing down your bandwidth.
