Q

What are the three primary purposes of virtual machines?

A
  1. Sandbox
  2. Test development
  3. Application virtualization
17
Q

What is the purpose of virtual machine sandboxing?

A

Sandbox testing: where you can experiment and check out new/updated application without messing up the primary system

18
Q

T/F: if you need to run software you don’t trust, the safest way is to run it in a virtual machine.

A

False. You can use a virtual machine, but is not a true sandbox

19
Q

What is the purpose of virtual machine test developments?

A

you can control the development environment and testing environment a lot easier on a virtual machine

20
Q

What is the purpose of virtual machine application virtualization?

A

virtualizing the OS capability that an application would normally use to install and do its work

21
Q

What are the two use cases for application virtualization?

A
  1. Legacy software/OS: running the application on a different OS version
  2. Cross platform virtualization: running applications written for another OS
22
Q

What is the purpose of enabling hardware virtualization support?

A

VMs will run better with it enabled

23
Q

Where can you enable and disable hardware virtualization support?

A

inside the system setup utility

24
Q

How much RAM does a VM require?

A

the same amount of RAM as a real machine

25
Q

How much storage does a VM require

A

a lot. Can range to hundreds of Gigabytes

26
Q

What are the 4 types of virtual networks?

A
  1. internal network: networked VMs with each other
  2. place a VM on a virtual network that only enables it to communicate with the host
  3. bridge the VM’s nic to the host’s NIC, enabling the VM to join the same network as the host
  4. no network
27
Q

What are the security considerations for virtual machines?

A
  1. Infected machines can be restored by loading from a good VM file
  2. Any other VMs are generally unaffected and uninfected
  3. most virtual machines allow snapshot or checkpoints
28
Q

Between Google Sync and Google Cloud, which provides storage?

A

Google Cloud

29
Q

What is a virtualization enhancement developed by AMD for its CPU?

A

AMD-V or Hyper-V

30
Q

What refers to a billing model where a cloud provider charges customers based on the resources they consume or the services they use?

A

Metered Usage

31
Q

What are the 5 methods for preventing VM sprawl?

A
  1. Maintain an inventory
  2. Categorize VMs based on groups or departments
  3. Identify idle VMs
  4. Identify VMs with under- or over-allocated resources
  5. Audit VMs periodically
32
Q

What are the 2 methods for preventing VM escape?

A
  1. Sandboxing
  2. Patch Management
33
Q

What is Intel’s Virtualization Technology?

A

Vt-x
