The question is asking about the type of hypervisor used by a system or platform referred to as 'scale.' Without additional context, it's unclear what 'scale' specifically refers to, but it could be a product, service, or technology that utilizes virtualization. Common hypervisors include VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, and open-source options like KVM or Xen. To provide an accurate answer, more information about 'scale' is needed.
