Abstract
Disclosed are various examples of loading management hypervisors from user space. In some examples, a host device executes a first stage bootloader of a management hypervisor from within a host operating system. The first stage bootloader loads management hypervisor data and handoff instructions into a memory of the host device, and invokes a kernel execute call of the host operating system. The handoff instructions invoke a second stage bootloader that configures and launches the management hypervisor using the management hypervisor data.
