CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-001) — Question 33

Which of the following does the server virtualization layer do?

Answer options

• A. It allows the underling physical server hardware to be shared
• B. It allows the virtual machines to be dependent on each other
• C. It allows the virtual machines to be load balanced
• D. It prohibits the use of virtual machines by unauthorized users

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, is accurate because the server virtualization layer allows multiple virtual machines to utilize the same physical hardware resources efficiently. Options B and C are incorrect as they suggest dependencies and load balancing features that the virtualization layer does not inherently provide. Option D is also wrong since the virtualization layer does not inherently prohibit access; security measures are typically managed through other means.
