CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 4

A cloud administrator is provisioning five VMs, each with a minimum of 8GB of RAM and a varying load throughout the day. The hypervisor has only 32GB of
RAM. Which of the following features should the administrator use?

Answer options

• A. Memory overcommitment
• B. Thin-provisioned model
• C. Process scheduling
• D. Hyperthreading

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Process scheduling, which allows the hypervisor to allocate CPU resources dynamically based on the load, ensuring efficient utilization of the available RAM. While Memory overcommitment allows more VMs to be created than the physical memory can support, it does not address the varying load effectively. Thin-provisioned model optimizes storage, and Hyperthreading enhances CPU performance but does not directly impact memory allocation.
