A network administrator needs to implement routing capabilities in a hypervisor. Which of the following should the administrator most likely implement?

The correct answer is C. NFV. To implement routing capabilities within a hypervisor environment, a network administrator would most likely implement Network Function Virtualization (NFV). NFV allows network services like routing to run as software on virtualized infrastructure.

Why each option

To implement routing capabilities within a hypervisor environment, a network administrator would most likely implement Network Function Virtualization (NFV). NFV allows network services like routing to run as software on virtualized infrastructure.

AVPC

VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) is a concept in cloud computing for isolated network environments, not a specific technology for implementing routing within a hypervisor directly.

BFirewall

A firewall is a specific network security function, not a general solution for providing routing capabilities within a hypervisor.

CNFVCorrect

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) allows network services, such as routers, firewalls, and load balancers, to be virtualized and run as software on standard server hardware within a hypervisor. This approach decouples network functions from proprietary hardware, enabling flexible and scalable deployment of routing capabilities directly within a virtualized environment.

DIaaS

IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) is a cloud computing service model that provides virtualized computing resources, but it's not the specific technology used to implement routing capabilities inside a hypervisor.
