Understanding Hypervisors and Virtualization

What are the two main types of hypervisors?

• Type X and Type Y

• Type A and Type B

• Type 3 and Type 4

• Type 1 and Type 2

Define a Type 1 hypervisor.

• A Type 1 hypervisor runs as a software application on top of a host OS.

• A Type 1 hypervisor requires a host operating system to function.

• A Type 1 hypervisor runs directly on the host hardware without a host operating system.

• A Type 1 hypervisor is only used for virtualizing desktop environments.

What is a Type 2 hypervisor?

• A Type 2 hypervisor runs directly on hardware without a host OS.

• A Type 2 hypervisor is a type of cloud service.

• A Type 2 hypervisor is only used for server virtualization.

• A Type 2 hypervisor is a virtualization layer that runs on a host operating system.

Name a popular Type 1 hypervisor.

• Microsoft Hyper-V

• KVM

• VMware ESXi

• Oracle VirtualBox

What is the primary function of a hypervisor?

• To manage user access to applications.

• To provide network security for virtual machines.

• To store data in a physical server.

• The primary function of a hypervisor is to create and manage virtual machines.

How does virtualization benefit server utilization?

• Virtualization requires more physical servers to operate efficiently.

• Virtualization increases server utilization by enabling multiple virtual machines to share the same physical resources.

• Virtualization decreases server utilization by isolating physical resources.

• Virtualization eliminates the need for server maintenance.

What is a virtual machine (VM)?

• A virtual machine is an operating system installed on a smartphone.

• A virtual machine is a physical server in a data center.

• A virtual machine is a type of hardware component.

• A virtual machine (VM) is a software emulation of a physical computer.

List one advantage of using virtual machines.

• Increased resource utilization.

• Limited software compatibility.

• Increased hardware costs.

• Decreased system performance.

What is the role of a hypervisor in managing VMs?

• A hypervisor is responsible for data backup and recovery.

• The role of a hypervisor is to manage and allocate resources to virtual machines.

• The hypervisor only monitors network traffic for VMs.

• A hypervisor is used to create physical machines.

Explain the concept of hardware virtualization.

• Hardware virtualization eliminates the need for a hypervisor in managing virtual machines.

• Hardware virtualization enables multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical machine using a hypervisor.

• Hardware virtualization allows a single virtual machine to operate on multiple physical machines.

• Hardware virtualization is the process of converting physical machines into software applications.
