A memory-resident cache for VM data

A physical hard drive dedicated to a single virtual machine

A file or block device that appears as a physical disk to the guest operating system

What is the difference between a snapshot and a clone of a virtual machine?

Both are identical and can be used interchangeably

A snapshot is permanent, while a clone is temporary

A snapshot preserves the current state for rollback, while a clone creates a new independent VM

A snapshot creates a new VM, while a clone preserves the current state

What is overcommitment in the context of virtual machine resource allocation?

Limiting resources to prevent any VM from using more than its share

Reserving resources exclusively for a single VM

Assigning more virtual resources to VMs than physically available on the host

Assigning exactly the same amount of resources as physical hardware

What is a key security consideration for the hypervisor itself?

Allowing direct internet access to the management interface

Disabling all logging to reduce overhead

Using the same password for all hosts for convenience

Keeping it patched and updated to address vulnerabilities

An administrator needs to move a VM from one host to another to perform maintenance on the first host. The VM runs a critical production database that cannot tolerate downtime. Which migration method should the administrator use?

Clone the VM to the new host and decommission the original

Cold migration by powering off the VM and moving its files

Warm migration with a brief suspension of the VM
