CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 305

A resource pool in a cloud tenant has 90 GB of memory and 120 cores. The cloud administrator needs to maintain a 30% buffer for resources for optimal performance of the hypervisor. Which of the following would allow for the maximum number of two-core machines with equal memory?

Answer options

• A. 30 VMs, 3GB of memory
• B. 40 VMs, 1,5GB of memory
• C. 45 VMs, 2 GB of memory
• D. 60 VMs, 1 GB of memory

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because using 40 VMs with 1.5 GB of memory each utilizes 80 GB of memory and keeps within the 30% buffer while also fitting within the 120 cores available. The other options either exceed the core limit or do not maximize the number of VMs possible given the memory constraints.
