Question

A company wants to optimize the use of its existing compute resources by running multiple operating systems on a single Cisco UCS server. The company also wants to minimize new purchases for physical resources such as hard drives. The network connectivity between virtual hosts and the physical host needs to be bridged. Which deployment model type must be used?

Options

Abare metal
BDocker
Ccontainer
Dvirtual machine

Explanation

Virtual machines (VMs) are the correct deployment model here because they fulfill all three requirements: (1) VMs allow multiple, complete operating systems to run simultaneously on a single physical host via a hypervisor; (2) VMs use virtual hard disks stored as files on the host, eliminating the need to purchase additional physical hard drives; and (3) hypervisors support bridged networking, which connects VM virtual NICs directly to the physical network as if they were separate physical machines. Bare metal runs a single OS directly on hardware. Containers (including Docker) share the host OS kernel and do not run multiple independent operating systems - they are process-isolated, not OS-isolated. Therefore, only virtual machines satisfy all stated requirements.
