Question

What is required for a virtual machine to run?

Options

• Aa Type 1 hypervisor and a host operating system
• Ba hypervisor and physical server hardware
• Conly a Type 1 hypervisor
• Donly a Type 2 hypervisor

Explanation

A virtual machine requires both a hypervisor to manage its execution and underlying physical server hardware to provide the necessary computing resources.

Common mistakes.

• A. While a Type 1 hypervisor runs directly on hardware, a host operating system is not required when using a Type 1 hypervisor; it manages VMs directly.
• C. A Type 1 hypervisor alone is insufficient; it needs physical hardware to run on and provide resources for the VMs.
• D. A Type 2 hypervisor also needs a host operating system and physical hardware to run; it cannot run in isolation.
