CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) — Question 20

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 this situation as they allow multiple services to run in isolated environments while sharing the same operating system kernel. Type 1 and Type 2 hypervisors create separate virtual machines with distinct operating systems, which does not meet the requirement of sharing the kernel. Virtual desktop infrastructure and emulation do not provide the same level of efficiency and resource sharing as containers.
