What is the role of a virtual switch in a virtualized environment?

To allocate CPU resources to virtual machines

To forward network traffic between virtual machines and the physical network

To provide storage connectivity to virtual machines

To encrypt all network traffic within the host

What is the purpose of fault tolerance in a virtualized environment?

To provide backups that require manual restoration

To keep a secondary copy of a VM running in lockstep to avoid downtime

To allow VMs to run on any hardware without compatibility checks

To reduce the number of VMs in a cluster

An administrator is decommissioning a VM that has been running a legacy application for several years. The VM is no longer needed, but the administrator wants to ensure that the data is not accessible in the future. What is the most appropriate step?

Take a final snapshot of the VM before deletion

Securely erase the virtual disks before deleting the VM

Migrate the VM to an archive storage tier

Delete the VM and its virtual disks from the datastore

In which scenario is a Type 2 (hosted) hypervisor most appropriate?

A cloud provider hosting multi-tenant virtual machines

A mission-critical application requiring minimal overhead

A developer testing multiple operating systems on a personal laptop

A large enterprise running hundreds of production servers

An administrator manages a virtualization host with 32 physical cores. The host runs 20 VMs, each configured with 4 vCPUs. The administrator notices that CPU-ready times are consistently high during peak hours, causing performance degradation. What is the most likely cause and the appropriate first action?

The VMs are using too much storage I/O; move them to faster storage

The host has insufficient memory; add more RAM to the host

The virtual switch is misconfigured; check VLAN settings

The VMs are overcommitted on CPU; reduce the number of vCPUs per VM to match actual workload demands
