A hypervisor is a software which is installed on top of the hardware, creating a virtualización layer and acting as a platform on which virtual machines (VMs) are created. Do not confuse the hypervisor with the operating system in question.
The hypervisor is responsible for extracting physical resources from hardware and converting them to virtual hardware. It is key to facilitating virtualization, creating what is known as the virtualization layer.
The same way as you must install the software to use the hardware, the hypervisor must be installed to allow virtualization.
Now that you know that virtualization hosts (hypervisors) provide hardware the ability to virtualize and therefore create multiple virtual machines running on the operating system (OS) of your choice whose function is partitioning.
The definition of partition in this context is the ability to execute multiple operating systems on a single physical system sharing the underlying hardware resources.
In a virtualized system, the hypervisor partitions, that is to say, It divides the hardware into several 'parts' to allow multiple OS running on a single machine.
