What are the benefits of using containers for migrating complex workloads to IBM Cloud? (Select two)

Question

Options

• AEnhanced security by default
• BPortability and ease of scaling
• CDependency on proprietary technology
• DReduced need for virtualization

• A
  13% (4)
• B
  81% (26)
• C
  6% (2)

Explanation

Portability (B) is a core container strength - containers package an application with all its dependencies, so they run consistently across environments (dev, test, cloud), making complex migrations smoother. Reduced need for virtualization (D) is correct because containers share the host OS kernel rather than requiring a full guest OS per workload, allowing more workloads to run on the same hardware without spinning up separate VMs.

A is wrong because containers do not provide enhanced security by default - they share the host kernel, which can introduce attack surface if not properly configured with tools like namespaces, seccomp, and network policies. C is wrong because containers are built on open standards (Docker/OCI, Kubernetes), which actually reduces vendor lock-in and proprietary dependency - the opposite of what option C claims.

Memory tip: Think "Pack light, Ditch the VM" - containers let you Port your app anywhere (B) and Drop the heavy virtualization layer (D). If an answer claims containers add lock-in or are automatically secure, it's a trap.
