A small software company runs a legacy line-of-business application on a physical Windows Server. They want to migrate it to a cloud VM but must minimize the management overhead of the host OS and maximize the performance of the VM. Which hypervisor type should they choose?

Bare-metal server with the application installed directly

Type 1 hypervisor running directly on the cloud provider's hardware

Type 2 hypervisor installed on a cloud VM

Container runtime on a shared kernel

A company is planning to virtualize its data center. They have a mix of applications: some are legacy and require specific hardware, while others are modern and can run on any hardware. The company wants to reduce hardware costs and improve manageability. Which virtualization strategy best addresses these requirements?

Use network virtualization to segment traffic, and run all applications on physical servers

Use desktop virtualization to provide virtual desktops for all users

Use storage virtualization to pool all storage, and run all applications on physical servers

Use server virtualization to consolidate modern applications, and use hardware passthrough for legacy applications that require specific hardware

A company is experiencing a security breach on one of its VMs. The breach is isolated to that VM, but the security team is concerned about the risk of the attacker escaping the VM and accessing the hypervisor or other VMs. Which action would best mitigate this risk?

Implement network segmentation and micro-segmentation to limit lateral movement

Use a type 2 hypervisor to add an extra layer of isolation

Apply the latest security patches to the hypervisor and VMs

Disable VM snapshots to prevent attackers from using them

How does virtualization enable scalability in cloud computing?

By allowing VMs to be created, resized, or removed quickly in response to demand

By limiting the number of VMs that can run on a host

By requiring manual installation of physical servers for each new workload

By eliminating the need for load balancers

A company is planning to virtualize its production servers. The security team is concerned about the risk of a compromised hypervisor affecting all VMs. Which mitigation strategy best addresses this concern?

Apply security patches to the hypervisor regularly

Minimize the hypervisor's attack surface by disabling unused services and features

Use a type 2 hypervisor to isolate the hypervisor from hardware

Place all VMs on the same host to simplify management
