Question

How can data be shared between several virtual machines running on the same Linux-based host system?

Options

  • ABy writing data to the file system since all virtual machines on the same host system use the same
  • BBy mounting other virtual machines' file systems from /dev/virt-disks/remote/.
  • CBy setting up a ramdisk in one virtual machine and mounting it using its UUID in the other VMs.
  • DBy using a network file system or file transfer protocol.
  • EBy attaching the same virtual hard disk to all virtual machines and activating EXT4 sharing

Explanation

The correct way to share data between several virtual machines running on the same Linux- based host system is by using a network file system or file transfer protocol. A network file system (NFS) is a distributed file system protocol that allows a user on a client computer to access files over a network in a manner similar to how local storage is accessed. A file transfer protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used for the transfer of computer files between a client and server on a computer network. Both methods allow data to be shared between virtual machines regardless of their underlying file systems or virtualization technologies.
