The Hyper-V Virtualization Stack

Virtual Machine Management Service (VMM Service)

Manages the state of virtual machines running in the child partitions (active, offline, stopped etc) and controls the tasks that can be performed on a virtual machine. Tasks include managing starting virtual machines, taking snapshots and the addition and removal of devices. When a virtual machine is started, the VMM server is responsible for creating a Virtual Machine Worker Process.
