Question 1

What format enables a virtual machine to be moved between virtualization platforms, and is often used for deploying virtual appliances?
A) Virtual Machine Disk (VMDK)
B) Virtual Disk Image (VDI)
C) Open Virtualization Format (OVF)
D) Shared Virtualization System (SVS)

Accepted Answer

Open Virtualization Format (OVF) is designed for the efficient, flexible, and secure distribution of software to be run in virtual machines. It facilitates the mobility of virtual machines by ensuring they can be easily imported and run on different virtualization platforms.

                        Premises: A virtual disk file that allocates space on the hosting hardware only as it is required to satisfy the needs of the guest VM.
Used to create additional logical cores that can be used by the hypervisor to improve the performance of virtual machines.
A technique used by hypervisors to cause a guest VM to release infrequently used memory pages.
A method of separately storing any changes to a parent VM made by a specific user such that it does not affect the parent VM.
An accumulation of specialized and departmental servers that increases costs of computer hardware and maintenance, as well as power consumption.
A piece of software that enables the sharing of hardware resources between the hosting operating system and virtual environments.
A personal computer that runs its own operating system and applications.
A standard created by industry wide vendors in various areas of virtualization for the purpose of copying or moving virtual machines between different platforms.
A software package that includes a virtual machine containing a preinstalled and configured application that's ready to use.
A networking mode that allows traffic from a virtual machine to pass through unchanged to the physical network as though it were directly attached.

Question 5

What open standard was developed as a result of collaboration between NASA and Rackspace?
A) Open Virtualization Format
B) Virtual Machine Disk format
C) FreeVirt
D) OpenStack

Accepted Answer

OpenStack is the correct answer because it was developed through a collaboration between NASA and Rackspace to facilitate cloud computing services.

Question 6

You are employed by a cloud service provider that offers virtual machine services along with virtual switches, storage, firewalls, and other virtual devices. What type of cloud environment does your employer sell?
A) Infrastructure as a Service
B) Platform as a Service
C) Software as a Service
D) Core as a Service

Accepted Answer

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides virtualized computing resources over the internet, including virtual machines, storage, and networks, which matches the description of the services offered by the employer.

Question 7

What statement regarding the use of Hyper-V is accurate?
A) Hyper-V includes native support for USB devices.
B) Hyper-V requires a 64-bit processor with hardware virtualization support.
C) Hyper-V can only be used to host Microsoft based virtual machines.
D) Hyper-V does not include support for PATA based disk systems.

Accepted Answer

Hyper-V requires a 64-bit processor with hardware virtualization support to function, which is essential for running virtual machines efficiently.

Question 11

What statement regarding virtual disk types is accurate?
A) A fixed size virtual disk does not immediately allocate the configured size of the disk.
B) A fixed size virtual disk has reduced performance in comparison to a dynamic disk.
C) A dynamic disk does not immediately allocate the configured size of the disk.
D) A dynamic disk is only suitable for hosts with large amounts of storage to accommodate their size.

Accepted Answer

A dynamic disk allocates storage space as needed up to the maximum configured size, rather than allocating the entire configured size immediately, which is a characteristic of a fixed size virtual disk. This makes dynamic disks more space-efficient initially, especially for scenarios where the full disk capacity might not be needed immediately.

Question 12

The VDI disk file format is native to what virtualization platform?
A) Oracle VirtualBox
B) VMware
C) Microsoft Virtual PC
D) Microsoft Hyper-V

Accepted Answer

The VDI (Virtual Disk Image) file format is native to Oracle VirtualBox, which is a free and open-source hosted hypervisor for x86 virtualization.

Question 13

When using the VMware Horizon software, where do client desktop operating systems run?
A) They run on a host running VMware Workstation Pro.
B) They run on a Windows Server 2012 or later host using Hyper-V
C) They run on a Citrix XenServer.
D) They run on a VMware vSphere ESXi host.

Accepted Answer

VMware Horizon utilizes VMware vSphere ESXi hosts to run client desktop operating systems in a virtualized environment, leveraging the power of server virtualization to provide virtual desktops.

Question 14

You have been tasked with creating a virtual machine that will be providing hosted services on the physical network, and possibly the Internet. What network mode should be used?
A) local mode
B) bridged mode
C) shared mode
D) host only mode

Accepted Answer

Bridged mode allows a virtual machine to appear as a separate physical device on the network, enabling it to provide hosted services on the physical network and potentially the Internet. This mode bridges the virtual and physical networks, allowing direct communication between the VM and the external network.

Question 15

What is NOT a product designed specifically for the virtualization of applications within a VDI environment?
A) VMware Fusion
B) Microsoft App-V
C) Altiris Software Virtualization Solution
D) VMware ThinApp

Accepted Answer

VMware Fusion is designed for running virtual machines on macOS, not specifically for application virtualization within a VDI environment. Microsoft App-V, Altiris Software Virtualization Solution, and VMware ThinApp are all designed for application virtualization.

Question 16

You have been tasked with creating a virtual machine that will require access to the Internet, but should be prevented from sending and receiving packets directly from the physical network. What network mode should be used?
A) local mode
B) bridged mode
