Which of the following is a hardware setting that is typically configured when creating a new virtual machine?

The administrator password for the host operating system

The brand of the physical CPU in the host

The IP address of the host's default gateway

The amount of virtual memory (RAM) allocated to the VM

What is typically the first step in configuring a new virtual machine in a hypervisor?

Taking a snapshot of the host system

Creating a new virtual machine and specifying its name, location, and operating system type

Installing the guest operating system from an ISO image

Configuring the network adapter to use a static IP address

An administrator is configuring a new VM on a host with 16 GB of RAM. The VM will run a lightweight web server that typically uses 2 GB of RAM. The administrator wants to ensure the VM can handle occasional spikes without wasting memory. Which memory allocation strategy should they use?

Allocate a fixed 4 GB of RAM to the VM.

Allocate 16 GB of RAM to the VM to avoid any performance issues.

Enable memory overcommitment and set a minimum of 2 GB with a maximum of 4 GB.

Allocate 2 GB of RAM and rely on the hypervisor's swap file for spikes.

Which of the following is a function performed by a hypervisor?

Compiling application source code into executable programs

Providing network connectivity between virtual machines and the physical network

Defragmenting the host's physical hard drive to improve performance

Encrypting all data stored on the host's physical disks

A small business wants to run a legacy Windows XP application that is incompatible with Windows 10. They have a single Windows 10 workstation and want to avoid buying new hardware. Which solution should they implement?

Use Windows 10's built-in compatibility mode to run the legacy application natively.

Install a Type 2 hypervisor on the workstation and create a Windows XP virtual machine.

Install a Type 1 hypervisor directly on the workstation's hardware and run Windows 10 and Windows XP as VMs.

Create a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) deployment with a centralized host for the legacy application.
