Figure 2-1. Hyper-V Architecture
Guest operating systems require specialized drivers (VSCs) provided by
Microsoft to access the VMBus. The drivers are specific to the type of device
that is presented to the guest operating system through the VM
configuration. They are installed as a part of the Integration Services available
for the Hyper-V supported guest operating systems.
NOTE: All architecture-related information provided in this document assumes that
the guest operating system has Integration Services installed.
