Overview#

Paravirtualization is a Virtualization method that presents a software interface to Virtual Machines that is similar, but not identical to that of the underlying hardware.

The intent of the modified interface is to reduce the portion of the guest's execution time spent performing operations which are substantially more difficult to run in a virtual environment compared to a non-virtualized environment.
