Which of the following virtualization technologies is best suited for running microservices?
The correct answer is A. Containers. Containers (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes-managed pods) are lightweight, portable, and isolate individual application processes without requiring a full OS per instance. This makes them ideal for microservices architectures, where each service runs independently and must scale quickly

Explanation
Containers (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes-managed pods) are lightweight, portable, and isolate individual application processes without requiring a full OS per instance. This makes them ideal for microservices architectures, where each service runs independently and must scale quickly. VDI virtualizes desktop environments. Type 1 and Type 2 hypervisors run full virtual machines with separate OS instances, which is heavier and slower to spin up than containers.
