CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 326

A security administrator is setting up a virtualization solution that needs to run services from a single host. Each service should be the only one running in its environment. Each environment needs to have its own operating system as a base but share the kernel version and properties of the running host. Which of the following technologies would best meet these requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Containers are ideal for running multiple services on a single host while maintaining isolation, as they share the host's kernel but operate with their own user space. Type 1 and Type 2 hypervisors create full virtual machines with separate kernels, which is not necessary here. Virtual desktop infrastructure is focused on delivering desktops rather than isolated services, and emulation introduces overhead that is not required in this scenario.
