The hypervisor (sometimes called the virtual machine manager or VM) monitors running virtual machines and manages how those VMs are sharing hardware. Furthermore, the hypervisor also has a migration module that manages how to move a VM from one server to another. One of the major attacks on the hypervisor is called the hidden channel attack.
