Question

Which of the following is a method for apportioning resources that involves setting guaranteed minimums for all tenants/customers within the environment?

Options

  • AReservations
  • BShares
  • CCancellations

Explanation

Resource reservations guarantee a minimum amount of resources for a specific tenant or workload, ensuring performance even under contention, distinguishing them from limits or shares.

Common mistakes.

  • B. Shares represent a relative priority for resources; while they influence how resources are distributed during contention, they do not guarantee a minimum amount.
  • C. Cancellations refer to stopping a resource or service, which is unrelated to resource apportionment methods.
  • D. Limits set a maximum amount of resources that a virtual machine or tenant can consume, but they do not guarantee a minimum.
