VMware says esxi is a bare-metal hypervisor and there is not an underlying
os. Someone else says it is based on vmkernel operating system ( where
vmkernel is defined as a posix-like operating system).
In my opinion the oVirt node is to be intended something like ESXi: an os
with the smallest possible footprint, dedicated to run as a KVM hypervisor.
The difference being that it is based on Linux and not developed from
scratch.
