    Hypervisors

    Hypervisors are the foundation that AMM runs on top of, allowing it to manage virtual machines and resources. This release supports three types of hypervisors, so you can pick the one that works best for you.

    Customers are responsible for selecting the bare metal hardware and hypervisor that best suits their environment. While Semtech will do its best to help get the system running on the chosen hypervisor, it’s important to note that testing has only been performed on a limited set of hypervisor configurations.
