VMware Cloud Management and Automation Fundamentals — Question 23

Traditional operating systems allocate resources such as CPU and memory for applications installed on computers.
Which vSphere component schedules resources for virtual machines in a similar way?

Answer options

• A. Virtual Hardware
• B. VMware Tools
• C. ESXi Hypervisor
• D. vCenter Server

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The ESXi Hypervisor is responsible for managing and scheduling resources such as CPU and memory for virtual machines, similar to how traditional operating systems operate. Virtual Hardware and VMware Tools do not handle resource scheduling, while vCenter Server primarily focuses on management and orchestration rather than direct resource allocation.
