Is proxmox a hypervisor? I thought it ran QEMU

Hypervisor is a very specific term, that refers to the thing that controls all of the virtual machines, and dedicates hardware to those virtual machines.

Xen

HyperV

Qemu

KVM

As far as I'm aware, proxmox is an orchestration layer, much like OpenStack, around QEMU

Yes, I've copied the title from their project.

Proxmox describes itself as an virtualization management platform.

Proxmox Virtual Environment is a complete, open-source server management platform for enterprise virtualization. It tightly integrates the KVM hypervisor and Linux Containers (LXC), software-defined storage and networking functionality, on a single platform
