The correct answer is C. Availability. Live VM migration in response to near-capacity host utilization is performed to prevent resource exhaustion, which would degrade or eliminate service availability.

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. To balance the workload across more hosts the administrator performs a virtual resource migration. Which of the following terms BEST describes the reason the administrator performed this action?

Options

  • AMobility
  • BUtilization
  • CAvailability
  • DMigration

Why each option

Live VM migration in response to near-capacity host utilization is performed to prevent resource exhaustion, which would degrade or eliminate service availability.

AMobility

Mobility describes the capability to move workloads between hosts or locations, which is the mechanism used, not the reason the action was taken.

BUtilization

Utilization describes the metric being observed, but it is not the reason the migration was performed - it is the symptom that triggered the corrective action.

CAvailabilityCorrect

When hosts run close to capacity, the risk of resource starvation causes services to become unavailable or unresponsive. The administrator migrated VMs to distribute load and maintain continuous service availability by proactively preventing hosts from reaching the failure threshold. Availability - keeping services online and responsive - is the underlying reason that justifies the migration action.

DMigration

Migration is the name of the action the administrator performed, not the reason or business justification for performing it.
