Question

You've been tasked with setting up a virtualization environment on your company's newest server. This server will be solely devoted to virtualization and needs to be fast and secure. Because this server will mainly be used for internal software testing, your company doesn't feel that the virtual machines created there will need to be migrated to other virtualization environments. Which of the following virtualization options would be the best setup for this scenario (using only the parameters given above): O A.) Type 1 Hypervisors B.) Type 2 Hypervisors C.) Container/application virtualization D.) All of the Above E.) B and C

Answer 1

• Based on the parameters given above, Type 1 Hypervisors would be the best setup for this scenario. Type 1 hypervisors are also known as bare-metal hypervisors and are installed directly on the server's hardware. They are designed to run multiple virtual machines (VMs) on a single physical server and are optimized for performance and security. Type 2 hypervisors run on top of an operating system and are not as efficient as Type 1 hypervisors. Container/application virtualization is a lightweight alternative to full machine virtualization that allows multiple applications to run on a single operating system kernel. However, it is not as secure as Type 1 hypervisors because all containers share the same kernel.
