ESXi has its own proprietary kernel called VMKernel.
You can probably call it Linux inspired.
Similar file system layout. Compatible API subset (but not full
compatible API). Similar driver architecture. Similar CLI experience
(BusyBox provide the usual CLI interface).
But not based on Linux kernel code. And not fully compatible. And not
all functionality (it is specialized for hypervisor role).
In other words, it originated back in the day when the difference between
“Type 1” and “Type 2” hypervisors was important.
