How does Xen hypervisor work?
Xen is a hypervisor that runs directly on the system hardware. Xen inserts a virtualization layer between the system hardware and the virtual machines, turning the system hardware into a pool of logical computing resources that Xen can dynamically allocate to any guest operating system.

How does the Xend daemon in Python work?
Xend The Xend daemon is a python application that is considered the system manager for the Xen environment. It leverages the libxenctrl library (see below) to make requests of the Xen hypervisor. All requests processed by the Xend are delivered to it via an XML RPC interface by the Xm (see below) tool. Xm
