CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 54

A systems administrator is deploying a solution that includes multiple network I/O-intensive VMs. The solution design requires that vNICs of the VMs provide low- latency, near-native performance of a physical NIC and data protection between the VMs. Which of the following would BEST satisfy these requirements?

Answer options

• A. SR-IOV
• B. GENEVE
• C. SDN
• D. VLAN

Correct answer: A

Explanation

SR-IOV is the best choice as it allows for direct access to the physical NIC, providing low-latency and near-native performance for VMs while ensuring data protection. GENEVE, SDN, and VLAN do not inherently offer the same level of performance or direct access to the NIC as SR-IOV does, making them less suitable for this specific requirement.
