Application Prelaunch is a feature that allows users to launch applications faster by creating a session when the user logs on to Citrix Workspace app, before the user requests an application. This feature is enabled by Delivery Group and can be configured for all users or a subset of users1.

Session Sharing is a feature that allows users to launch multiple applications using the same session, reducing the load on the server and improving the user experience. This feature is enabled by default and can be configured using Citrix policies2.

The Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops architecture is divided into multiple conceptual layers. In Citrix architectural documentation, the Resource Layer is the layer responsible for the hosting infrastructure, which consists of:

Hypervisors (Citrix Hypervisor/XenServer, Hyper-V, VMware, Nutanix AHV)

Virtual machines

Machine creation technologies (MCS/PVS)

This layer provides the actual compute, storage, and virtualization capabilities required to run VDAs. Since the hypervisor platform is part of the virtual machine hosting environment, it resides in the Resource Layer.

The Hardware Layer refers only to physical server components.

The Control Layer manages brokering, delivery, and site configuration.

The Access Layer involves authentication and user connection entry points such as StoreFront and Citrix Gateway.

Therefore, because the hypervisor is part of the virtualization hosting environment, it belongs specifically to the Resource Layer.

 A resource location is a collection of resources that you use to deliver applications and desktops to users. It can include Citrix ADC, VDA, Active Directory Domain, and Hypervisor. These resources are required for hosting and managing the machines that deliver apps and desktops to users1. StoreFront, Citrix Director, Citrix Provisioning, and Database are not part of a resource location, but are components of the Citrix Cloud service2.
