Final answer:

False. Virtual machines are hosted via the hypervisor, not infrastructure services in the VMkernel.

Step-by-step explanation:

False

Virtual machines (VMs) are hosted via the hypervisor, not infrastructure services in the VMkernel. The VMkernel is responsible for managing various hardware resources such as memory, CPU, and storage, while the hypervisor provides the virtualization layer that enables the creation and management of VMs.

These specific types of viruses are known as mycoviruses and they are usually found within the cells of their fungal hosts, affecting a variety of fungal species with different outcomes, ranging from benign coexistence to causing diseases and reduced reproductive rates in the infected fungi. Mycoviruses are of particular interest within the field of virology and mycology because they can alter the interactions between fungal species and other organisms, including plants, sometimes even with agricultural significance.

For example, VMware vSphere is a popular hypervisor that allows multiple VMs to run on a single physical server. The hypervisor abstracts the underlying hardware, allowing VMs to share the resources provided by the VMkernel.
