7.1.8 Check Your Understanding – Virtualization and Cloud Computing

1. Which method of virtualization requires an application on the host machine to create multiple VMs?

  • Hardware virtualization
  • Server virtualization
  • Hosted virtualization
  • Software virtualization

Explanation: A Hosted virtualization (type II hypervisor) method requires an application running on the host machine to create virtual machines.

2. Which option is required to support a virtual desktop infrastructure?

  • Big high-resolution monitors to display all applications
  • Powerful computers with multiple CPUs and 16 GB RAM or more
  • Solid state drives (SSDs) to store applications and data locally
  • High availability network access

Explanation: Virtual desktop virtualization requires high availability and storage capacity.

3. What situation describes VM sprawl?

  • It occurs when the virtual machine breaks out and interacts with the host operating system.
  • It occurs when too many underutilized VM servers use up more resources and space than needed.
  • It occurs when compromised VM servers are used to create additional nefarious VM instances.
  • It occurs when VM servers use fewer resources and space than allocated.

Explanation: VM sprawl occurs when too many virtualized, underutilized servers use up more resources and space than needed for the work they are doing.

4. Which cloud computing service model reduces infrastructure costs but provides an organization less control over its data?

  • Community cloud
  • Hybrid cloud
  • Private cloud
  • Public cloud

Explanation: Public cloud service providers (CSPs) are responsible for infrastructure and services required by cloud customers. However, cloud customers will rely on the cloud providers to safeguard their data. You answered 4 out of 4 questions correctly.
