CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 424

An organization is looking to optimize its environment and reduce the number of patches necessary for operating systems. Which of the following will best help to achieve this objective?

Answer options

• A. Microservices
• B. Virtualization
• C. Real-time operating system
• D. Containers

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Containers are lightweight and allow for the packaging of applications with their dependencies, which helps in reducing the overall patching needed for operating systems. In contrast, Microservices and Virtualization may introduce additional complexity and overhead, while a Real-time operating system is not relevant to patch optimization.
