Q

What is a disadvantage of a Bare-Metal hypervisor?

A

limited hardware support

(because the hypervisor usually has limited built-in device drivers)

17
Q

What is the advantages of a Type 2 hypervisor?

A

Better hardware compatibility

(OS is responsible for the hardware drivers instead of the hypervisor.)

18
Q

What are the four main benefits of virtualization?

A
  1. Infrastructure simplification
  2. Reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
  3. Environmental Issues
  4. Improved Responsiveness
19
Q

A Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) benefit increases a business’s return on investment (ROI) and is achieved by __________, __________, and _________.

A
  1. Increased server utilization
  2. Decreased management infrastructure costs
  3. Lowered costs to deploy new environments
19
Q

(True/False) Server consolidation allows one server to virtually host many once-dedicated servers that may have been underutilized in their stand-alone state.

A

True

20
Q

Name the three environmental issues that virtualization addresses.

A
  1. Reduce electrical energy consumption
  2. Decreased cooling requirements
  3. Decreased physical space requirements
21
Q

Dynamically allocating resources to workloads is ________ and improves the efficiency and autonomy of resource management.

A

Automatic load balancing.

22
Q

What are the six main areas of concern regarding virtualization security?

A

applications on the same server to share the kernel?

A

host operating system

27
Q

What are the logical partitions used to separate applications on the same server?

A

Containers

28
