paravirtualization

Paravirtualization is a technique where a virtual machine (VM) is aware it's running in a shared environment and cooperates with the host system to improve performance. Instead of hiding its presence, the VM communicates directly with the host's hypervisor through special interfaces, reducing overhead and increasing efficiency. This collaborative approach allows multiple VMs to run on the same physical hardware smoothly, making better use of resources and enabling faster operations. Essentially, it's like having a partner who understands the environment and works with it to optimize performance.
