Host Operating System

A Host Operating System (HostOS) is the operating system installed directly onto the physical hardware of a computer. It manages the hardware resources, such as the CPU, memory, storage, and network interfaces, and provides a platform for running other operating systems within virtual machines. Think of it as the foundation upon which virtualized environments are built.
