VirtualBox includes a hypervisor for the host platform, an application programming interface (API) and software development kit (SDK) for managing guest virtual machines, a command-line tool for managing guests locally, a web service for remote management of guests, a wizard-style graphical tool to manage guests, a graphical console for displaying guest applications on the local host, and a built-in Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) server that provides complete access to a guest from a remote client.Īs shown in Figure 5.1, VirtualBox can run on a wide variety of host platforms.
As a hosted hypervisor, it extends the existing operating system installed on the hardware rather than replacing it.
