CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 184

A systems administrator notices several VMs are constantly ballooning, while the memory usage of several other VMs is significantly lower than their resource allocation. Which of the following will MOST likely solve the issue?

Answer options

• A. Right-sizing
• B. Bandwidth increase
• C. Cluster placement
• D. Storage tiers

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Right-sizing is the process of adjusting the resource allocations of VMs to better match their actual usage, which can help alleviate ballooning issues by reducing unnecessary memory allocation. The other options, like bandwidth increase, cluster placement, and storage tiers, do not directly address the memory resource allocation and utilization problem that is causing the ballooning.
