2V0-621 · Question #118
What are two features of a resource pool? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is B. Allocates available resources among the virtual machines. C. Consolidates workloads to reduce the power consumed by the cluster. Resource pools allocate CPU and memory resources among virtual machines and, when combined with DRS and Distributed Power Management, facilitate workload consolidation to reduce cluster power consumption.

Why each option
Resource pools allocate CPU and memory resources among virtual machines and, when combined with DRS and Distributed Power Management, facilitate workload consolidation to reduce cluster power consumption.
Controlling the aggregate CPU and memory resources of a DRS cluster is a function of the cluster-level configuration itself, not of resource pools, which operate as partitions within the boundaries already established by the cluster.
Resource pools are designed specifically to partition and distribute available CPU and memory resources from a host or DRS cluster among the virtual machines assigned to them, providing fine-grained control over resource allocation.
Resource pools work with DRS and Distributed Power Management (DPM) to consolidate running workloads onto fewer active hosts, allowing idle hosts to enter standby mode and reducing the overall power consumed by the cluster.
Easy VM migration and monitoring are capabilities provided by vMotion and vCenter performance monitoring tools respectively, not by resource pools, which are focused solely on resource allocation and partitioning.
