A healthcare organization is deploying a new application that must comply with strict security regulations. The application requires a hardened OS and the ability to isolate workloads from each other. The organization has a limited budget and wants to use existing physical servers. Which deployment approach best meets these requirements?

Deploy multiple VMs on each physical server using a hypervisor

Use a public cloud provider without dedicated infrastructure

Deploy each application on a separate bare metal server

Deploy containers on a single shared OS

What is a key attribute of a bare metal deployment?

The operating system has direct access to the physical hardware.

Resources are dynamically shared among many tenants on the same server.

Applications run on a hypervisor that abstracts the hardware.

Multiple operating systems share the same kernel on a single server.

A financial trading firm runs a latency-sensitive application that must process market data with minimal jitter. The application requires direct access to specialized network interface cards and cannot tolerate the overhead of a hypervisor. Which deployment type should the firm choose?

Virtual machines on a shared hypervisor
