Improve coordination between a Linux guest and its hypervisor.
Provide paravirtualized I/O, time synchronization, clean shutdown, and guest-information reporting appropriate to the platform.
What should be installed?
Platform-specific guest drivers and agents provide paravirtualized I/O and management integration. Install only trusted components required by the hypervisor.
Detailed explanation
Correct. Guest drivers and agents matched to the platform provide the requested integration.
Incorrect. A different distribution's bootloader does not provide hypervisor integration.
Incorrect. Copying the host root password into a guest is unsafe and unrelated.
Incorrect. Disabling all virtual NICs prevents network integration.
Try it yourself
An example you can run in a temporary verification environment.
systemd-detect-virt; lsmod | grep -E '^(virtio|hv_|vmw_)' | headExpected result

- Use least privilege
Notes
- Environment: Linuxゲストの一般的な仮想化統合
- Command output formatting can vary slightly by distribution or tool version.
- Run the example in a temporary directory or process when possible.
