july 3 virtual machines

Which tool is best suited to automate provisioning, deployment, and teardown of virtual machines? A. SSH B. Hypervisor C. Orchestration tool D. VLAN

C. Orchestration tool. Orchestration tools like vRealize or Ansible automate complex workflows including VM provisioning and decommissioning.

Which of the following best describes the role of a hypervisor? A. Allocates IPs B. Manages physical disks C. Creates and manages VMs D. Sends alerts

C. Creates and manages VMs. A hypervisor abstracts hardware and allows multiple virtual machines to run on a host system.

Which type of hypervisor runs directly on the host's hardware without a traditional OS? A. Type 1 B. Type 2 C. Container D. Bare-metal

B. Type 1. Type 1 hypervisors run directly on physical hardware and are often used in enterprise environments.

Which of the following is a benefit of using orchestration in a virtual environment? A. Reduces hard drive usage B. Automates resource allocation C. Prevents OS corruption D. Improves printing speed

B. Automates resource allocation. Orchestration automates tasks like scaling VMs, managing templates, and provisioning resources.

Which configuration allows for automatic restart of VMs after a hardware failure? A. Resource pooling B. High availability C. Throttling D. VLAN tagging

B. High availability. High availability configurations ensure VMs automatically restart on other hosts if a failure occurs.

Which is an example of a Type 2 hypervisor? A. Microsoft Hyper-V B. VMware ESXi C. Oracle VirtualBox D. Citrix XenServer

C. Oracle VirtualBox. Type 2 hypervisors run on top of an existing OS and are often used on desktops.

Which of the following does an orchestration tool commonly use to define workflows? A. IPv4 B. YAML C. FAT32 D. JSON

B. YAML. Orchestration tools like Ansible often use YAML to define automation playbooks and workflows.

In a virtualized environment, which feature allows a VM to be moved without shutting it down? A. Cold migration B. Live migration C. Clone D. Snapshot

B. Live migration. Live migration moves VMs between hosts without downtime, critical for maintenance and load balancing.

Which virtualization component ensures that VMs are isolated from one another? A. Shared memory B. Hypervisor C. Host OS D. BIOS

B. Hypervisor. The hypervisor enforces resource and security isolation between virtual machines.

Which of the following tasks is typically automated by orchestration tools? A. Defragmenting disks B. BIOS updates C. VM snapshot scheduling D. Configuring printer drivers

C. VM snapshot scheduling. Orchestration tools can manage scheduled snapshots, backups, provisioning, and decommissioning.

Which benefit does VM templating offer in orchestration? A. Manual OS installs B. Faster provisioning C. GPU optimization D. License validation

B. Faster provisioning. VM templates allow orchestration tools to quickly deploy standardized VMs without repeating setup steps.

Which of the following is a primary use of virtualization in enterprise networks? A. Reducing power supply usage B. Hardware independence C. Better monitor resolution D. Improved mouse precision

B. Hardware independence. Virtual machines abstract from the underlying hardware, making deployment and scaling more flexible.

What is the purpose of VM sprawl management in orchestration? A. Improve cooling B. Prevent unauthorized VM creation C. Enhance Wi-Fi signal D. Encrypt boot partitions

B. Prevent unauthorized VM creation. Orchestration can manage and limit resource usage to prevent unnecessary VM proliferation (sprawl).

Which of the following defines orchestration in IT? A. Manual scripting B. Direct file editing C. Automated management of complex workflows D. On-demand printing

C. Automated management of complex workflows. Orchestration coordinates multiple automated tasks into a larger system-wide workflow.

Drag and drop: Match term to function. Hypervisor – Orchestration – VM Snapshot – Live Migration. A. Moves running VM – Automates workflows – Preserves VM state – Manages VMs

A. Hypervisor: Manages VMs – Orchestration: Automates workflows – VM Snapshot: Preserves VM state – Live Migration: Moves running VM.

Which of the following tools would most likely be used in VM orchestration? A. WinRAR B. Ansible C. DHCP D. Telnet

B. Ansible. Tools like Ansible, Terraform, and vRealize are used for orchestrating virtual environments and automating provisioning.

PBQ: A company wants to spin up ten identical VMs every Monday and delete them Friday. What is the best solution? A. Manual scripting B. Orchestration tool C. BIOS scheduling D. USB cloning

B. Orchestration tool. This use case matches orchestration tools designed for automated provisioning and teardown based on schedule or policy.

Which component is critical for automating rollback in orchestration systems? A. Manual log B. Snapshot C. USB boot D. Static IP

B. Snapshot. VM snapshots allow orchestration tools to revert systems to previous states automatically if errors occur.

Which risk increases without proper orchestration controls? A. Firmware corruption B. VM sprawl C. Bluetooth lag D. Print queue errors

B. VM sprawl. Uncontrolled creation of VMs can overwhelm infrastructure without orchestration policies to manage lifecycle and resource usage.

In a VMware environment, what is a golden image? A. A licensed GPU B. A snapshot of BIOS C. A master VM template D. An encrypted drive

C. A master VM template. Golden images are standardized templates used for rapid, consistent VM provisioning via orchestration tools.

PBQ: An admin needs to ensure VMs are automatically rebalanced across hosts during peak usage. Which feature is required? A. USB passthrough B. NIC teaming C. Dynamic resource scheduling D. Static routing

C. Dynamic resource scheduling. DRS helps balance VM workloads across hosts automatically.

What is the key benefit of orchestration in virtual environments? A. Uses less bandwidth B. Enables user-controlled printing C. Reduces manual admin tasks D. Increases kernel size

C. Reduces manual admin tasks. Orchestration streamlines and automates recurring or complex tasks in VM management.

Which of these would be a limitation of a Type 2 hypervisor? A. No guest support B. Slower performance C. No graphical interface D. No ISO support

B. Slower performance. Type 2 hypervisors depend on the host OS, reducing efficiency compared to bare-metal Type 1 solutions.

What does 'deprovisioning' refer to in orchestration? A. Removing a power supply B. Turning off audio alerts C. Automatically removing unneeded VMs D. Archiving media files

C. Automatically removing unneeded VMs. Deprovisioning automates cleanup of VMs that are no longer in use to save resources.
