CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 33

A systems administrator wants the VMs on the hypervisor to share CPU resources on the same core when feasible. Which of the following will BEST achieve this goal?

Answer options

• A. Configure CPU passthrough.
• B. Oversubscribe CPU resources.
• C. Switch from a Type 1 to a Type 2 hypervisor.
• D. Increase instructions per cycle.
• E. Enable simultaneous multithreading.

Correct answer: E

Explanation

Enabling simultaneous multithreading allows multiple threads to run on a single core, effectively sharing CPU resources among VMs. The other options either do not directly address resource sharing on the same core or involve changing the hypervisor type, which is not necessary for the goal.
