What is the primary role of systemd-machined in virtualization management?

To manage and track local containers and virtual machines

To convert physical machines to virtual machines

To provide a full web-based management interface for KVM

To provide a hosted hypervisor for desktop users

An administrator wants to create a copy of an existing VM to test a new application without affecting the original. The copy must be an independent, fully functional VM that can be started immediately. Which feature should be used?

Create a snapshot of the VM and start the VM from the snapshot.

Pause the VM and copy its memory state to a new VM.

Live migrate the VM to another host and keep a copy there.

Clone the VM to create a new, independent VM with its own disk and configuration.

A DevOps team is evaluating hypervisor technologies for a new virtualization platform. They need to run unmodified legacy operating systems that do not support paravirtualization drivers. The team wants to minimize the performance penalty of binary translation. Which approach should they choose?

Use paravirtualization and require the legacy OS to be modified with special drivers.

Use full virtualization with software-based binary translation for all guest instructions.

Use hardware-assisted virtualization with CPU extensions such as Intel VT-x or AMD-V.

Use container-based virtualization and run the legacy OS as a container image.

A team is deploying a hypervisor on a server that does not support hardware virtualization extensions (VT-x/AMD-V). They need to run unmodified guest operating systems. Which approach will work, and what is its main drawback?

Use paravirtualization, which requires guest OS modifications but runs efficiently.

Use full virtualization with binary translation, which runs unmodified guests but with performance overhead.

Use container-based virtualization, which runs unmodified guests with low overhead.

Use hardware-assisted virtualization, which runs unmodified guests with near-native performance.

Which of the following is a common use case for Open vSwitch?

Enabling network virtualization and SDN

Managing virtual machine lifecycles

Providing storage for virtual machines

Providing a graphical console for VMs

351.1 Virtualization Concepts and Theory (weight: 6) LPIC-3-VIRTUALIZATION Practice Questions (Page 1)

Part of the Topic 351: Full Virtualization domain, which makes up ~39% of our current practice bank. Linux Professional Institute does not publish an official question count, but from its 90-minute exam (~35–60 total, ~14–23 in this domain), expect 3–5 from this objective — we provide 21 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
