CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 174

A Type 1 hypervisor has the following specifications:

RAM 128GB -

CPU 4 socket quad-core -

Storage 16TB -
Each VM must have reserved 8GB RAM, 1 vCPU, and 512GB storage. Which of the following is the MAXIMUM number of VMs that can be hosted on this hypervisor?

Answer options

• A. 14
• B. 15
• C. 31
• D. 32

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The maximum number of VMs is determined by the RAM available since each VM requires 8GB. With 128GB of RAM, the hypervisor can support 16 VMs based on memory, but storage limits each VM to 512GB, allowing for 31 VMs based on storage. However, the limiting factor here is the number of VMs that can be supported by the RAM, resulting in a maximum of 14 VMs.
