CompTIA Cloud+ (CV1-003) — Question 57

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: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as oversubscribing CPU resources allows more VMs to use the same physical CPU cores, maximizing resource utilization. Options A and C do not directly address resource sharing on the same core, while D focuses on improving performance rather than sharing, and E, while beneficial for performance, does not specifically facilitate resource sharing among VMs.
