    Hyper-V is a virtualization platform introduced by Microsoft in 2008. It has four versions that were released with new Windows server versions. The Hyper-V architecture includes a parent partition that has access to hardware and manages child partitions that host virtual machines. The parent partition installs components and ensures hardware access for virtual devices that emulate or provide synthetic interfaces for devices used by guest operating systems in child partitions.

    Hyper v

    Microsoft introduced Hyper-V as a virtualization platform in 2008,


    and it continued to release new Hyper-V versions with new
    Windows server versions. So far, there are a total of four versions,
    including Windows Server 2012 R2

    Basically, Microsoft Hyper-V Server is a standalone and


    shortened version of Windows Server where Microsoft
    cut out everything irrelevant to virtualization, services
    and Graphical User Interface (GUI) to make the server
    as small as possible.

    Insight into Hyper-V architecture

    Parent partition
    The Parent partition is the partition that
    has all the access to hardware devices,
    and control over the local virtualization
    stack
    The parent partition has the rights to
    create child partitions and manage all the
    components related to them

    Child partition
    the child partition gets created by the
    parent partition, and all the guest virtual
    machine related components run under
    the child partition.

    Understanding Hyper-V parent


    partition
    the parent partition is the brain of Hyper-V virtual stack
    management, and all the components get installed in
    child partitions.
    The parent partition also makes sure that the hypervisor
    has adequate access to all the hardware resources; and
    while accessing these hardware resources, the trusted
    computing base concept will be used
    when you start your Hyper-V server, the parent partition
    is the first partition to get created; and while running the
    virtual machines on the Hyper-V server, it is the parent
    partition that provisions the child partitions on the
    hypervisor

    Hyper-V Virtual Machine


    Management Service
    Virtual Machine Management Service (VMM
    Service or VMMS) is responsible for the
    management of the virtual machine state for the
    child partitions
    This includes making the right decision to
    change the virtual machine state, handling the
    creation of snapshots, and managing the
    addition or removal of devices.
    When a virtual machine in a child partition is
    started, the VMMS spawns a new VM worker
    process, which is used to perform the
    management tasks for that virtual machine

    Virtual devices
    Virtual devices (vDevices) are the
    application interfaces that provide control
    over devices to the VMs. There are two
    types of vDevices, as follows:
    1Core devices
    1.1Emulated devices 1.2Synthetic devices
    Plugin devices

    Core devices (emulated devices)


    These virtual devices emulate a specific
    hardware device, such as a VESA video card.
    Most core vDevices are emulated devices like
    this, and examples include BIOS, DMA, APIC,
    ISA bus, PCI bus, PIC device, PIT device, Power
    Management device, RTC device, Serial
    controller, Speaker device, 8042 PS/2
    keyboard/mouse controller, Emulated Ethernet
    (DEC/Intel 21140), Floppy controller, IDE
    controller, and VGA/ VESA video.

    Core devices (synthetic devices)


    These virtual devices do not model specific
    hardware devices.
    Examples of synthetic devices include a
    synthetic video controller, synthetic human
    interface device (HID) controller, synthetic
    network interface card (NIC), synthetic storage
    device, synthetic interrupt controller, and memory
    service routines.
    These synthetic devices are available only to
    guest operating systems that support Integration
    Services.

    Plugin devices
    These devices allow direct
    communications between the parent and
    the child partition
    These devices can safely be removed and
    added whenever it is necessary. Examples
    of these types of devices are human
    interfaces and mass storage devices.
