Questions and Answers

What is the main difference between virtualization and cloud computing?

Virtualization is only concerned with networking connectivity, while cloud computing is concerned with storage and networking connectivity.
Virtualization focuses on hardware abstraction, while cloud computing focuses on software abstraction.
Virtualization abstracts compute resources as virtual machines, while cloud computing determines how those virtualized resources are allocated, delivered, and presented. (correct)
Virtualization involves creating independent VMs, while cloud computing involves creating interconnected VMs.

What is the main benefit of a Hypervisor (bare-metal) architecture?

It focuses on managing pooled resources across the enterprise.
It provides a non-disruptive deployment of virtual infrastructure.
It allows for direct installation onto the hardware and can create independent VMs that are completely isolated from each other. (correct)
It allows for better leveraging of infrastructure investment.

What is a limitation of Hypervisor Virtualization?

Inability to create independent VMs that are isolated from each other.
Increased overhead of running a fully installed guest operating system. (correct)
Significant overhead from calls to hypervisor from the guest operating system can sometimes reduce application performance.
Inability to freely allocate resources to processes.
