Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 8

Which of the following statements about Type 1 hypervisors is true?

Answer options

• A. The hardware vendor and software vendor are different.
• B. The hardware vendor and software vendor are the same
• C. The hardware vendor provides an open platform for software vendors.
• D. The hardware vendor and software vendor should always be different for the sake of security.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because Type 1 hypervisors typically operate directly on the hardware, meaning the software that runs them can come from a different vendor than the hardware itself. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the relationship between hardware and software vendors in the context of Type 1 hypervisors.
