,1. Which hypervisor type is often referred to as "bare-metal"
due to its direct interaction with hardware?
a) Type 1
b) Type 2
c) Hosted Hypervisor
d) Nested Hypervisor
Answer: a) Type 1
- Rationale: Type 1 hypervisors run directly on the
hardware without an underlying OS, offering better
performance and efficiency.
2. In virtualization, which concept refers to the isolation of
individual virtual machines to ensure that they do not affect
each other?
a) Overcommitment
b) Encapsulation
c) Partitioning
d) Virtual Networking
Answer: c) Partitioning
- Rationale: Partitioning ensures that resources are
divided appropriately and VMs remain isolated.
3. Which of the following virtualization technologies
primarily focuses on desktops and applications rather than
server infrastructure?
a) vSphere
b) XenServer
c) VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure)
d) OpenStack
©2024/2025
, Answer: c) VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure)
- Rationale: VDI focuses on providing virtualized desktop
environments.
4. Which storage technology is essential for achieving high
availability in virtualized environments?
a) IDE
b) DAS
c) SAN
d) USB
Answer: c) SAN
- Rationale: Storage Area Networks (SAN) provide the
necessary shared storage for features like live migration.
5. What is the primary goal of implementing virtualization in
data centers?
a) Increasing hardware footprint
b) Improving software redundancy
c) Reducing hardware costs and improving resource
utilization
d) Simplifying application development
Answer: c) Reducing hardware costs and improving
resource utilization
- Rationale: Virtualization aims to optimize resource
usage and reduce the need for extensive hardware.
