CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 161

When designing a new private cloud platform, a cloud engineer wants to make sure the new hypervisor can be configured as fast as possible by cloning the OS from the other hypervisor. The engineer does not want to use local drives for the hypervisors. Which of the following storage types would BEST suit the engineer's needs?

Answer options

• A. CAS
• B. NAS
• C. DAS
• D. SAN

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, SAN, as it allows for high-speed data access and can efficiently manage multiple hypervisors without relying on local drives. NAS (B) is suitable for file storage but may not provide the same performance as SAN for VM deployment. CAS (A) is designed for content-addressable storage and does not fit this scenario, while DAS (C) uses local drives, which the engineer specifically wants to avoid.
