When deploying VM series on Openstack platform, which statement is correct?

Question

Options

• AAllow configuration of at least one interface
• BOpenStack compute node could be installed on a hypervisor platform
• CAccept the VM-Series OVA image
• DSet Instance type OS::Nova Server

• B
  87% (20)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  9% (2)

Explanation

Option B is correct because OpenStack's compute layer (Nova) is designed to run on top of hypervisor platforms such as KVM, VMware ESXi, or Hyper-V - meaning the compute node itself sits on a hypervisor, and the VM-Series firewall is then deployed as an instance on that node. This nested virtualization capability is a core architectural feature of OpenStack.

A is wrong because deploying VM-Series on OpenStack requires a minimum of two interfaces (a management interface plus at least one data interface), not just one. C is wrong because OpenStack does not support the OVA format - that is a VMware-specific packaging format; OpenStack requires a QCOW2 image for VM-Series deployment. D is wrong because OS::Nova::Server is a Heat orchestration template resource type, not an "instance type" (flavor) - the wording conflates two separate OpenStack concepts.

Memory tip: Think "OVA = VMware, QCOW2 = OpenStack" to immediately eliminate C, and remember "2 interfaces minimum" to eliminate A. For B, recall that OpenStack is a cloud platform built on top of hypervisors, not a standalone hypervisor itself - compute nodes always live on a hypervisor layer.
