The ACRN architecture has evolved since its initial v0.1 release in
July 2018. Beginning with the v1.1 release, the ACRN architecture has
flexibility to support partition mode, sharing mode, and a mixed hybrid
flexibility to support *logical partitioning*, *sharing*, and a *hybrid*
mode. As shown in :numref:`V2-hl-arch`, hardware resources can be
partitioned into two parts:

applications, together with security functions that safeguard the
system.
There are a number of pre-defined scenarios included in ACRN's source code. They
all build upon the three fundamental modes of operation that have been explained
above, i.e. the *logical partitioning*, *sharing*, and *hybrid* modes. They
further specify the number of VMs that can be run, their attributes and the
resources they have access to, either shared with other VMs or exclusively.
The predefined scenarios are in the `misc/vm_configs/scenarios
<https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor/tree/master/misc/vm_configs/scenarios>`_
folder in the source code. XML examples for some platforms can also be found under
`misc/vm_configs/xmls/config-xmls <https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor/tree/master/misc/vm_configs/xmls/config-xmls/>`_.
The :ref:`acrn_configuration_tool` tutorial explains how to use the ACRN
Configuration tool to create your own scenario or modify an existing one.
