A company is designing a new virtualized environment. They have a mix of workloads: some require high performance and low latency, while others are less critical and can tolerate occasional performance dips. The company wants to maximize hardware utilization while ensuring that critical workloads meet their performance requirements. Which approach best balances these needs?

Use limits on all VMs to prevent any VM from using too many resources

Use reservations for critical VMs and overcommit resources for less critical VMs

Place all VMs on separate hosts to avoid contention

Use shares to prioritize critical VMs over less critical ones

A company has 20 physical servers, each running a single application at 10% CPU utilization. They want to reduce hardware costs and power consumption while maintaining the ability to run the same applications. Which approach best achieves this?

Increase the CPU capacity of each physical server

Migrate all applications to a single physical server without virtualization

Consolidate the applications onto fewer physical servers using virtualization

Use a type 2 hypervisor on each physical server

In a virtualized environment, what is the primary role of a hypervisor?

To provide network connectivity between virtual machines and the internet

To replace the need for an operating system in virtual machines

To allocate physical resources to virtual machines and manage their execution

To provide a user interface for managing virtual machines
