An administrator has been using snapshots for a VM over several weeks. The VM's performance has degraded significantly, and the virtual disk is consuming much more space than expected. What is the most likely cause and the appropriate action?

The VM's memory is insufficient; increase RAM

The VM is overcommitted on CPU; reduce vCPUs

The virtual disk is thin-provisioned and needs to be converted to thick

The snapshots have grown too large; consolidate the snapshots into the base disk

What is a potential risk of overcommitting memory in a virtualized environment?

Guaranteed performance improvement for all VMs

Elimination of the need for physical memory

Increased memory swapping or ballooning, leading to performance degradation

Automatic prevention of any VM from experiencing latency

Which virtual machine component is responsible for connecting the VM to a virtual network?

Virtual network interface card (vNIC)

What is the primary benefit of live migration?

It is only used for disaster recovery

It only works for storage, not compute

It moves a running VM without interrupting service

It requires the VM to be powered off
