A data center administrator wants to deploy multiple virtual machines on a bare-metal server to host production workloads. The administrator needs maximum performance and minimal overhead. Which type of hypervisor should the administrator choose?

Type 1 hypervisor installed directly on the hardware

Type 2 hypervisor running on a general-purpose OS

A container runtime on the host OS

An emulator that simulates the hardware

A startup wants to build a web application without purchasing physical servers. The team selects a cloud provider that offers virtual machines, managed databases, and serverless functions. The team also wants to use the provider's global content delivery network (CDN) to serve static assets. Which cloud provider is most likely to offer all of these services?

A hardware vendor that sells on-premises servers

A major public cloud provider such as AWS, Azure, or GCP

A web hosting company that only offers shared hosting

A local internet service provider (ISP)

What is a virtual machine (VM) in the context of virtualization?

A physical computer dedicated to running a single operating system

A container that packages an application with its dependencies but shares the host OS kernel

A software-based emulation of a physical computer that runs an operating system and applications

A service that provides storage and networking resources over the internet

A company uses a hybrid cloud. Its on-premises private cloud hosts a custom inventory application on VMs. The company also uses a public cloud SaaS for email and a public cloud PaaS for a custom reporting portal. Users report that the inventory application is slow, but email and the reporting portal are working normally. The on-premises VMs are responsive, and the network link to the public cloud is up. Which support team should be engaged first?

The SaaS email vendor's support team

The network team of the company's internet service provider

The internal team that manages the on-premises VMs and the inventory application

The public cloud provider's support for the PaaS reporting portal
