Question
A company wants to optimize cloud resources and lower the overhead caused by managing multiple operating systems. Which of the following compute resources would be best to help to achieve this goal?
- A. VM
- B. Containers Correct
- C. Remote desktops
- D. Bare-metal servers
Explanation
Containers share the host operating system kernel, so many workloads run on a few hosts without a separate guest OS for each one to patch and manage, and they use fewer resources than full VMs. Each VM carries its own operating system, which is the overhead the company wants to reduce. Remote desktops deliver user sessions rather than optimize workloads, and bare-metal servers add hardware to manage instead of consolidating it.
