After an operating system is installed on a server, typically, a Type II hypervisor is used in environments where virtualization is implemented. A Type II hypervisor runs on an existing operating system, allowing it to host multiple virtual machines within that OS. This means that after the main operating system is operational, the Type II hypervisor can be added as a software layer that facilitates the creation and management of additional virtual machines.
Using a Type II hypervisor is common in scenarios where direct server management is required alongside virtualization, especially in non-production or development environments. It leverages the resources of the host OS to provide an abstraction layer for multiple guest operating systems.
The other options pertain to different virtualization methods or management tools. Thus, their context is not directly relevant to what is typically installed immediately after the operating system on a server. A Type I hypervisor, for example, operates directly on the hardware and would not be installed "after" the OS in the same sense that a Type II hypervisor would. A Cloud Management Platform specifically refers to systems that help manage cloud infrastructure, while a Type III hypervisor is not a standard classification in virtualization technologies.
