A virtualization administrator is troubleshooting performance issues on a host. The administrator notices that one VM has high CPU-ready times, while other VMs are performing normally. The host has sufficient physical CPU capacity. What is the most likely cause?

The VM is using a network-intensive workload

The VM's virtual disk is on slow storage

The VM has too many vCPUs, causing scheduling overhead

The host is overcommitted on memory

A company hosts multiple departments on a single virtualization host. The finance department requires network isolation from other departments for compliance, but all VMs must still reach the corporate network. The administrator wants to segment traffic at Layer 2 without adding physical switches. What should the administrator configure?

Network address translation (NAT) on the virtual switch

VLAN tagging on the virtual switch port groups

A separate virtual switch for each department

A single virtual switch with no VLAN configuration

A company runs a critical application on a VM. The application is not cluster-aware and cannot be modified. The company requires continuous availability with no downtime, even during host maintenance. Which virtualization feature should be used?

Snapshots with automatic rollback

High availability (HA) with automatic restart

Live migration for planned maintenance

Fault tolerance (FT) with a secondary VM in lockstep

What is the primary purpose of a virtual machine snapshot?

To migrate the VM to another host

To capture the VM's state so it can be reverted to at a later time

To increase the VM's CPU allocation

What is the purpose of the decommissioning phase in a virtual machine's lifecycle?

To migrate the VM to another host

To safely remove the VM and reclaim its resources
