In virtualization, KVM and Xen are typical hardware-assisted virtualization technologies.

According to the HCIA–Cloud Computing virtualization domain,KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine)andXenare both examples ofhardware-assisted virtualizationtechnologies.

Hardware-assisted virtualization relies on CPU extensions such asIntel VT-xandAMD-Vto improve virtualization performance and isolation. Both KVM and Xen leverage these CPU features.

KVMis implemented as akernel modulewithin the Linux operating system. Once loaded, the Linux kernel itself becomes a hypervisor, managing CPU and memory virtualization with hardware support.

Xenalso relies on hardware virtualization features and interacts closely with the operating system kernel, especially in full virtualization and hardware-assisted modes.

Because the statement correctly describes both thevirtualization typeand theimplementation approach, it aligns with HCIA documentation and isTRUE.
