VMware vSphere 6.5 Foundations (VCP6.5-DCV) — Question 71

What is the optimal configuration when building a virtual machine for a single-threaded Windows application?

Answer options

• A. Deploy single-threaded applications on uniprocessor virtual machines.
• B. Deploy single-threaded applications on symmetric multi-processor virtual machines.
• C. Tune single-threaded applications to take advantage of symmetric multi-processor resources.
• D. Tune Single-threaded applications at the hypervisor level.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because single-threaded applications perform optimally on uniprocessor virtual machines, as they do not benefit from multiple processors. Options B and C suggest using multi-processor configurations, which would not enhance performance for single-threaded applications. Option D is irrelevant since tuning at the hypervisor level does not specifically address the limitations of single-threaded applications.
