Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 501

A company wants to optimize the use of its existing compute resources by running multiple operating systems on a single Cisco UCS server. The company also wants to minimize new purchases for physical resources such as hard drives. The network connectivity between virtual hosts and the physical host needs to be bridged. Which deployment model type must be used?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, virtual machine, because it allows multiple operating systems to run on a single physical server while effectively utilizing the existing resources. Options A (bare metal) and B (Docker) do not provide the necessary isolation of multiple operating systems, while option C (container) is more suited for applications rather than full operating systems.
