CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201) — Question 50

A customer has several bare-metal servers running a mix of Windows, Linux, and Unix OSs. The customer wants to consolidate the servers but is concerned about data privacy and recurring costs. Which of the following solutions should a technician recommend?

Answer options

• A. IaaS
• B. Containers
• C. Type 2 hypervisor
• D. VDI

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as containers allow for efficient resource usage while isolating applications, which helps with data privacy and cost reduction. IaaS (A) provides infrastructure but may not address privacy concerns as effectively. A Type 2 hypervisor (C) requires more resources and management than containers, and VDI (D) is more focused on desktop virtualization rather than server consolidation.
