VMware Cloud Management and Automation Fundamentals — Question 38

A company has a few virtual machines running software XYZ that only support the current CPU type. With hardware refresh, the company wants to leverage the new processor features for all VMs except for VMs running software XYZ.
Which feature meets this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Cluster-Level EVC
• B. vSphere High Availability
• C. Per-VM EVC
• D. vSphere vMotion

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Per-VM EVC, as it allows individual VMs to have different CPU compatibility settings, enabling the new processor features for all VMs except those running software XYZ. Cluster-Level EVC applies settings at the cluster level, which would affect all VMs. vSphere High Availability and vSphere vMotion do not pertain to CPU compatibility and therefore do not address the requirement.
