A security administrator is reviewing the configuration of a Type 1 hypervisor that hosts multiple VMs. The administrator notices that the management interface is accessible from the same network segment as the VMs. Which security best practice should the administrator implement?

Disable the management interface entirely and manage the hypervisor from a VM.

Enable SSH on the management interface for remote administration.

Use the same VLAN for management and VM traffic to simplify the network.

Move the management interface to a dedicated management network that is isolated from VM traffic.

Why is it important to isolate virtual machines from each other on the network?

To simplify the hypervisor's management interface

To reduce the amount of memory used by each VM

To increase the speed of the physical network

To prevent a compromised VM from easily attacking other VMs

What is a virtual switch (vSwitch) in a virtualized environment?

A physical network switch dedicated to the hypervisor

A firewall that filters traffic between VMs

A router that connects different virtual networks

A software-based switch that connects virtual machines to each other and to the physical network

A company wants to move its customer relationship management (CRM) application to the cloud. The application is a custom web application that requires a database and a web server. The company wants to minimize administrative overhead for patching the operating system and managing the underlying infrastructure, but they still need to manage the application code and data. Which cloud service model best fits this requirement?

Function as a Service (FaaS) - run the application as serverless functions.

Software as a Service (SaaS) - subscribe to a ready-made CRM solution.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) - provision VMs and install the web server and database manually.

Platform as a Service (PaaS) - deploy the web application and database to a managed platform.

Which practice is a security best practice for virtualized environments?

Keeping the hypervisor and its management software patched and updated

Disabling all firewalls on virtual machines to improve performance

Allowing all VMs to share the same virtual switch without segmentation

Using the same administrative password for all VMs and the host
