In the "Virtualization Basics" section of the Huawei HCIA-Cloud Computing training material, the taxonomy of virtualization components is strictly defined. Statement C is FALSE because the virtualization software layer is technically called the Hypervisor or Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM), not the "Host OS." While a "Host OS" exists in Type-2 (hosted) virtualization (where the hypervisor runs as an application on top of an existing OS like Windows or Linux), the software layer that actually performs the resource abstraction and logical partitioning is the Hypervisor itself.
The other definitions are central to Huawei's technical documentation. AGuest OS(Statement A) is indeed the operating system—such as Windows Server or Ubuntu—that is installed inside a Virtual Machine. It is "unaware" that it is running on virtual hardware. TheHost Machine(Statement B) refers to the underlying physical server (e.g., a Huawei FusionServer Pro) that provides the actual CPU, RAM, and physical NICs. Finally, aGuest Machine(Statement D) is a synonym for a Virtual Machine (VM), representing the logical container that houses the Guest OS and applications.
In a Type-1 virtualization architecture (like HuaweiFusionCompute), the Hypervisor (CNA) sits directly on the hardware. In this scenario, there is no "Host OS" at all, further proving why statement C is incorrect. The Hypervisor is responsible for trapping "privileged instructions" from the Guest OS and translating them into actions on the physical hardware. Correctly identifying these roles—Host Machine, Hypervisor, and Guest VM—is a prerequisite for understanding more advanced cloud features like Resource Clusters and Distributed Resource Scheduling (DRS).
