CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 126

A systems administrator is using VMs to deploy a new solution that contains a number of application VMs. Which of the following would provide high availability to the application environment in case of hypervisor failure?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as anti-affinity rules prevent VMs from being hosted on the same hypervisor, thus ensuring that if one hypervisor fails, the application can still run on another hypervisor. The other options, such as cold migration and live migration, are methods for moving VMs but do not directly provide high availability during a hypervisor failure, while affinity rules would keep VMs together on the same hypervisor, increasing the risk of downtime.
