CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-001) — Question 108

Which of the following is a feature of virtualization that can potentially create a single point of failure?

Answer options

• A. Server consolidation
• B. Load balancing hypervisors
• C. Faster server provisioning
• D. Running multiple OS instances

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Server consolidation can create a single point of failure because it involves combining multiple servers into a single physical server, which means if that server fails, all the hosted services go down. In contrast, load balancing hypervisors, faster server provisioning, and running multiple OS instances are designed to enhance reliability and availability, thus reducing the risk of a single point of failure.
