Splunk Enterprise Certified Architect — Question 43

What is the expected performance reduction when architecting Splunk in a virtualized environment instead of a physical environment?

Answer options

• A. Up to 15%
• B. Between 20% and 45%
• C. 0%
• D. 50%

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as it indicates that performance may drop by up to 15% in a virtualized setting due to resource sharing and overhead. Options B and D suggest significantly higher reductions that are not typical for Splunk in virtual environments, while option C incorrectly states that there is no performance impact.
