Verified Answers
Q1: Virtualization
A: A process that creates a software environment to emulate a computer's hardware and
BIOS, allowing multiple OSs to run on one physical computer at the same time
Q2: Virtual Machine (VM)
A: The virtual environment that emulates a physical computer's hardware and BIOS
Q3: Guest OS
A: The operating system installed on a VM
Q4: Host Computer
A: The physical computer on which the VM software is installed
Q5: Virtualization Software
A: Software that creates and manages VMs and creates the virtual environment in which a
guest OS is installed
Q6: Hypervisor
A: Software that creates and monitors the virtual hardware environment, allowing multiple
VMs to share physical hardware resources
Q7: Type 1 Hypervisor (bare metal)
A: A hypervisor that runs directly on the host computer's hardware and controls guest OSs
Q8: Type 2 Hypervisor (hosted)
A: A hypervisor installed in a general-purpose host OS, where the host OS accesses
hardware on behalf of the guest OS
Q9: Virtual Disk
A: Files residing on the host computer that represent a virtual machine's hard drive
Q10: Virtual Network
A: A network configuration created by virtualization
Q11: Snapshot
A: A partial copy of a VM made at a particular moment in time
, Q12: Hosted Virtualization
A: Virtualization that uses a type 2 hypervisor; supports a wide variety of guest OSs and is
easy to install/use on a desktop OS
Q13: Hosted Virtualization Products
A: Examples include VMware Workstation Pro, VMware Workstation Player, VMware Fusion,
Parallels Desktop for Mac, and VirtualBox
Q14: VMware Workstation Pro
A: A flagship hosted virtualization product offering flexible networking options (bridged,
NAT, host-only, custom, LAN segment)
Q15: VMware Tools
A: A collection of tools and drivers installed in the guest OS that adds optimized network,
video, and disk drivers plus guest-host integration
Q16: VMware Workstation Player
A: A stripped-down version of VMware Workstation Pro offering basic desktop
virtualization; good for new users, classrooms, and training centers
Q17: Virtual Appliance
A: A ready-to-use VM that contains a guest OS with preconfigured applications or network
services
Q18: VirtualBox
A: A hosted virtualization product that installs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Solaris hosts
and supports many guest OSs
Q19: Bare-Metal Virtualization
A: Virtualization using a type 1 hypervisor, installed directly on hardware; targeted mainly for
production virtualization in datacenters
Q20: Live Migration
A: Moving VMs to new hardware while they're running, with practically no downtime, for
performance and reliability improvements
Q21: Dynamic Provisioning
A: Advanced VM management systems deploying VMs and storage dynamically to meet
application requirements
Q22: Microsoft Hyper-V
