Question
A network administrator must create a Linux container on a Cisco Nexus Series Switch. The container requires 10 percent of the CPU of the switch and 1024 MB of RAM to run successfully. Which task provides the necessary resources?
Options
- AEdit the container properties with the guestshell run command.
- BIncrease the compute resources with the guestshell resize command.
- CEnable the Bash shell of the switch with the feature bash command
- DModify resource allocation with the virtual-service resize command.

Why each option
To allocate specific CPU and RAM resources for a Linux container (guestshell) on a Cisco Nexus Switch, the `guestshell resize` command must be used.
The `guestshell run` command is used to execute commands *within* the guestshell container, not to modify its resource allocation.
The `guestshell resize` command is specifically designed to adjust the allocated CPU and memory resources for the guestshell Linux container on Cisco Nexus switches. This command allows the administrator to specify the desired CPU percentage and memory in MB, directly addressing the requirement to provide 10% CPU and 1024 MB of RAM.
The `feature bash` command enables the Bash shell on the switch, which is a prerequisite for guestshell, but it does not allocate resources to a guestshell container.
While `virtual-service` commands manage virtual services, the `guestshell resize` command is the specific and correct command for adjusting the resources of the guestshell container itself, not a generic `virtual-service resize`.
