Which characteristic is true of a virtual machine in a server virtualization environment?

It is a lightweight runtime that packages only the application and its dependencies.

It is a software-based computer that runs its own operating system and applications.

It shares the same kernel as the host operating system.

It is a physical partition of the server's CPU and memory resources.

A network administrator must provide separate routing tables for two departments on the same router. Each department has its own internet connection and must not share routes. The router supports VRF. What should the administrator configure?

Create two VLANs and enable inter-VLAN routing.

Use two separate routing protocols and redistribute between them.

Configure policy-based routing to direct traffic to different internet connections.

Create two VRFs and assign each department's interfaces to the respective VRF.

A company wants to consolidate multiple physical servers into fewer hosts to reduce power and cooling costs. The applications are legacy and require specific OS versions. Which technology is most appropriate?

Use containers to run each legacy application.

Use a Type 2 hypervisor on each physical server.

Use a single OS on the host and run all applications directly.

Use server virtualization to run each legacy application in a separate VM.

A small startup runs a single Linux application on a physical server. They need to deploy multiple isolated instances of the application for different clients, each with its own filesystem and process space, while minimizing overhead and startup time. The application is stateless and does not require a full OS per instance. Which approach should they use?

Install a Type 1 hypervisor and create a VM for each client.

Run each instance as a separate process without any isolation mechanism.

Deploy a VRF per client on the physical server.

Use Linux containers to run each client instance on the shared host kernel.

A service provider offers managed routing to multiple customers. Each customer requires a separate routing table, but some customers need to exchange routes with each other for a partnership. The provider uses a single physical router. Which approach is most scalable and flexible?

Use a separate VLAN per customer and route between them.

Use VRFs with route leaking between selected customers.

Use a separate VM per customer running a virtual router.

Use a single routing table with prefix lists to filter routes.
