CCSP Question #240: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is B: Type 1 hypervisor. A Type 1 hypervisor, also known as a bare-metal hypervisor, runs directly on the host hardware and does not require a separate host operating system, thus minimizing its security dependencies.
Question
The use of which of the following technologies will NOT require the security dependency of an operating system, other than its own?
Options
- AManagement plane
- BType 1 hypervisor
- CType 2 hypervisor
- DVirtual machine
Explanation
A Type 1 hypervisor, also known as a bare-metal hypervisor, runs directly on the host hardware and does not require a separate host operating system, thus minimizing its security dependencies.
Common mistakes.
- A. A management plane typically refers to the control interface for managing IT infrastructure, which itself often runs on or interacts with an operating system and other services, incurring their security dependencies.
- C. A Type 2 hypervisor runs as an application on top of a conventional host operating system, making it dependent on the security of that underlying OS.
- D. A virtual machine always requires an operating system (the guest OS) to function, in addition to the hypervisor and potentially a host OS, thus having multiple OS security dependencies.
