NIST SP 800-210 General Access Control Guidance for Cloud Systems 3.2: Restrict hypervisor access to authorised cloud administrators

What does 3.2 require?

Because the hypervisor manages guest operating systems, creates images and controls hardware resources, access to it is limited to authorised cloud administrators, so that an end user cannot install a malicious guest that reaches other VMs' memory and a low-privilege VM cannot escalate through the hypervisor's resource allocation.
