1. A hybrid virtual machine manager system, the system comprising:
a master virtual machine manager including a processor and memory; and
one or more slave virtual machine managers each including a processor and memory, wherein the master virtual machine manager and the one or more slave virtual machine managers are of different types;
wherein the master virtual machine manager is configured to allocate a first type of hardware resource and a second type of hardware resource to the one or more slave virtual machine managers;
wherein the first type of hardware resource is a hardware resource capable of being directly operated by the one or more slave virtual machine managers, and is used exclusively by the slave virtual machine manager it is allocated to such that it is not shared with other slave virtual machine managers; and
wherein the second type of hardware resource is a hardware resource that is managed by the master virtual machine manager; and
wherein the master virtual machine manager is configured to:
generate a resource configuration table of the first type of hardware resource to the one or more slave virtual machine managers when the master virtual machine manager is started; and
provide, to the one or more slave virtual machine managers, an interface table for requesting the second type of hardware resource.
