The Hypervisor is the one which provides the complete virtualization environment which will intend to virtualize as much as hardware and systems which will include the CPUs, Memory, network interfaces and so on. Because of the virtualization technologies such as the KVM and others such as ESXi, there has been a significant decrease in the usage if the resources and decrease in the costs involved.

Department, Government College of Engineering, Gandhinagar Gujarat Technology University, Gujarat, India. # C.S.E. Department, Government College of Engineering, Gandhinagar Gujarat Technology University, Gujarat, India Abstract In the cloud computing, there is one virtual machine that need them. For this reason, cloud computing has also can created and put it out on the physical machine with been described as "on-demand computing." The Internet providing the ideas using the hypervisors. So the is utilized as a vehicle but it is not the cloud. Google, Amazon, eBay, etc utilize cloud technologies to provide virtualization technology has limit security capabilities in services via the Internet. The cloud technologies are an order to secure wide area environment such as the cloud. operating technology built on a vast number of computers While consolidating physical to virtual machines using that provide a service [1]. Google as a best example of Xen hypervisor, we want to be able to deploy and manage cloud computing. What happens when you type and virtual machines in the same way we manage and deploy search something on Google? Have you ever thought physical machines. For operators and support people about this? Does your PC go through all that information, there should be no difference between virtual and sorts it out for you and display all the relevant results? IJERTNo, it doesn’t. Otherwise, you would wait much longer physical installations Therefore, the development of a for a simple results page to display.
