Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 541

Which platform is run directly on top of a hypervisor?

Answer options

• A. bare metal systems
• B. virtual machines
• C. containers
• D. applications

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as virtual machines are designed to run on top of a hypervisor, which manages the hardware resources. The other options do not operate directly on a hypervisor; bare metal systems run on physical hardware, containers run on top of an operating system, and applications are typically executed within an environment provided by either bare metal or virtual machines.
