CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 246

A DevOps team needs to provide a solution that offers isolation, portability, and scalability. Which of the following would BEST meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Virtual machines
• B. Containers
• C. Appliances
• D. Clusters

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Containers are designed to provide a lightweight, isolated environment that can easily be deployed across various platforms, making them highly portable and scalable. In contrast, virtual machines are heavier and less portable, appliances are typically fixed-function devices, and clusters, while scalable, do not inherently provide the same level of isolation and portability as containers.
