Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 287

A customer's cloud services must:
• Migrate services to another data center on demand.
• Save the operational state of the machine on demand.
• Support Windows and Linux GUIs.
• Maximize hardware utilization.

Which type of deployment meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. bare metal
• B. container
• C. virtual machine
• D. Kubernetes

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as virtual machines allow for on-demand migration and state saving, while supporting multiple operating systems with GUIs. Option A, bare metal, lacks the flexibility for migration and state saving. Option B, container, does not provide full operating system support for GUIs. Option D, Kubernetes, is an orchestration platform that requires containers, and does not directly meet all the specified requirements.
