What differentiates a host from a server in Morpheus?

Question

Options

• AHosts function only in public clouds
• BHosts manage data, while servers store workloads
• CServers operate independently, while hosts require clusters
• DHosts refer to physical or virtual infrastructure, while servers are specific instances deployed on

• B
  7% (1)
• D
  93% (14)

Explanation

In Morpheus, hosts represent the underlying physical or virtual infrastructure (bare metal machines, hypervisors, or VM hosts) that provide raw compute resources, while servers are the specific workload instances actually deployed and running on top of that infrastructure - making D the correct distinction.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong because hosts are not limited to public clouds; they exist across private, public, and hybrid environments in Morpheus.
• B reverses any sensible logic and has no basis in Morpheus terminology - neither role is defined by "managing data" vs. "storing workloads."
• C is wrong because this independence/cluster requirement distinction doesn't describe how Morpheus categorizes these concepts; both hosts and servers can operate in various configurations.

Memory tip: Think of it like a building vs. a tenant - the host is the building (infrastructure), and the server is a specific tenant (deployed instance) living inside it. Hosts house servers.
