Google Cloud Digital Leader — Question 218

Which technology allows organizations to run multiple computer operating systems on a single piece of physical hardware?

Answer options

• A. Hypervisor
• B. Containers
• C. Serverless computing
• D. Open source

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Hypervisor, as it is specifically designed to create and manage virtual machines on a single hardware platform, allowing multiple operating systems to run simultaneously. Options B, C, and D do not provide this capability; Containers isolate applications rather than entire operating systems, Serverless computing abstracts away server management, and Open source refers to software licensing rather than virtualization technology.
