Sample Questions

Question 1

What is a hypervisor?

A. A firewall appliance that filters traffic passing between virtual machines on a host
B. Software that creates and runs virtual machines by abstracting the host hardware
C. A storage protocol that shares disk volumes between virtual machines and the host
D. A backup utility that captures running virtual machines to an external disk array

✓ Correct Answer: B

A hypervisor (VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, KVM) is the layer that partitions host CPU, memory, and I/O to create and run VMs, so B is right. A describes a firewall rather than the virtualization layer. C describes a storage protocol such as iSCSI or NFS. D describes a backup tool, not the software that runs the VMs.

Question 2

What is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 hypervisors?

A. Type 1 runs directly on hardware (bare-metal); Type 2 runs as an app on a host OS
B. Type 1 is split from Type 2 by which guest OS family each is able to host
C. Type 1 is distinguished from Type 2 by software license rather than architecture
D. Type 1 and Type 2 describe the same architecture under different vendor names

✓ Correct Answer: A

Type 1 (ESXi, Hyper-V, Xen, KVM) runs on bare metal, while Type 2 (VirtualBox, VMware Workstation) runs as an application on top of a host OS, so A is right. B invents a guest-OS split that does not define the types. C confuses licensing with architecture. D wrongly treats the two as the same design.
