A) Hyper-V server
B) a type 2 hypervisor
C) VMware vSphere
D) a dual-boot configuration

Accepted Answer

A type 2 hypervisor runs on a host operating system and allows you to create and run virtual machines. This is suitable for testing new distributions of Linux and working with other operating systems while still using Windows 10. Hyper-V Server and VMware vSphere are examples of type 1 hypervisors, which run directly on the hardware, and a dual-boot configuration does not involve virtualization.

Question 7

You are running a virtual desktop infrastructure and you need VMs to be allocated automatically when a user requests one. What feature should you use?
A) network isolation
B) dynamic provisioning
C) VM replication
D) live migration

Accepted Answer

Dynamic provisioning allows for the automatic allocation of resources, such as virtual machines, when they are requested by users. This feature is essential in environments where demand can fluctuate, ensuring that resources are efficiently allocated as needed.

Question 8

You have a VM that no longer boots after you installed several applications and services. Which feature of virtualization can you use to get your VM back up and running quickly?
A) reinstall the guest OS
B) restore the system disk from a recent backup
C) reset the system BIOS
D) revert to a snapshot

Accepted Answer

Reverting to a snapshot allows you to quickly restore a VM to a previous state before the problematic applications and services were installed, without the need for reinstalling the OS or restoring from backups.

Question 9

Virtualization is a process that emulates an operating system such as Windows 10 or Linux.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Virtualization is a process that emulates an...

Question 10

You have a virtual machine running on a type 1 hypervisor on Server1 and you need to move the VM to Server2 without shutting the VM down and with little to no downtime. What feature can you use?
A) network isolation
B) dynamic provisioning
C) export and import
D) live migration

Accepted Answer

Live migration allows the movement of a running virtual machine from one physical host to another with minimal downtime, making it suitable for the scenario described.

Question 11

Bare-metal virtualization products are targeted for testing and development on a desktop computer.

Accepted Answer

Bare-metal virtualization products are designed to run directly on the hardware of a host computer to provide high performance and efficiency for enterprise environments, not specifically for testing and development on a desktop computer.

Question 12

Which of the following is the virtual environment that emulates a physical computer's hardware and BIOS?
A) guest OS
B) VM
C) host
D) snapshot

Accepted Answer

A Virtual Machine (VM) emulates a physical computer's hardware and BIOS, allowing for the creation of a separate operating environment within a host system.

Question 13

One convenience of installing a guest OS in a VM is being able to boot to the installation program with an ISO file rather than a DVD disk.

Accepted Answer

Using an ISO file for installing a guest OS in a VM eliminates the need for physical media, allowing for a more convenient and faster installation process.

Question 14

Containerized applications share the kernel of the host operating system.

Accepted Answer

Containerized applications, unlike virtual machines, run on the same host operating system and share its kernel, but keep their file systems separate.

Question 15

You want to try out a software package that runs on Linux and you want to run it as a VM in VMware Workstation Player. You don't want to have to install Linux in a VM and install and configure the software package. What is a possible option?
A) download a virtual appliance
B) find an old machine with the software installed
C) create a virtual disk and mount it
D) install VMware Tools

Accepted Answer

Virtual appliances are pre-configured virtual machines that include a pre-installed operating system and software, allowing users to quickly deploy and run specific applications or services without the need for manual installation and configuration. This makes them an ideal option for trying out software packages on specific operating systems like Linux within a virtualized environment such as VMware Workstation Player.
