Question

A system administrator has been monitoring cloud infrastructure usage over a period of time. The administrator notices that several hosts are consistently running close to capacity during work hours.

Options

  • AMobility
  • BUtilization
  • CAvailability

Why each option

The administrator migrated virtual resources to balance workload across hosts and prevent resource exhaustion, thereby maintaining consistent service performance and accessibility.

AMobility

Mobility describes the capability of moving virtual resources, not the operational reason or goal for the movement in this scenario.

BUtilization

Utilization describes the state of the hosts (running close to capacity), but it is not the reason for performing the migration; rather, high utilization is the trigger for the action.

CAvailabilityCorrect

Moving workloads to less utilized hosts helps prevent resource exhaustion and service degradation, thus improving the overall availability and performance of applications. By distributing the load, the administrator ensures that services remain accessible and responsive during peak work hours.

DMigration

Migration is the action taken (moving virtual resources), not the underlying operational reason or goal for performing that action.
