An administrator is planning to deploy a new VM on a host that is already running several VMs. The host has 32 GB RAM, and the existing VMs are allocated a total of 28 GB. The new VM requires 8 GB RAM. The administrator wants to deploy the VM without purchasing additional hardware. What should the administrator do?

Enable memory overcommitment and deploy the VM

Reduce the memory allocation of existing VMs

Deploy the VM and rely on the hypervisor to handle it

Migrate the new VM to a different host with more memory

Why is virtualization considered significant to cloud computing?

It guarantees that cloud services are always available without downtime

It eliminates the need for physical servers in data centers

It allows multiple customers to share the same physical hardware while maintaining isolation

It makes all cloud services free to use

Which benefit of virtualization directly contributes to resource optimization in a cloud data center?

It guarantees that all applications run faster

It eliminates the need for network bandwidth

It allows multiple workloads to run on a single physical server, improving hardware utilization

It increases the physical footprint of the data center

Which characteristic distinguishes a type 1 hypervisor from a type 2 hypervisor?

Type 1 hypervisors require a host operating system, while type 2 hypervisors do not

Type 1 hypervisors can only run one VM at a time, while type 2 hypervisors can run multiple

Type 1 hypervisors are only used for desktop virtualization, while type 2 hypervisors are used for server virtualization

Type 1 hypervisors run directly on the physical hardware, while type 2 hypervisors run on top of an operating system

A cloud provider wants to offer VMs to multiple customers on the same physical hardware while ensuring strong isolation between customers. Which hypervisor feature is essential for this?

Hardware-assisted virtualization (e.g., Intel VT-x, AMD-V)

VM isolation and resource controls
