220-1201 Virtualization and Cloud Computing — 20 Questions

Question 1

A small accounting firm wants to run a legacy Windows XP application that is incompatible with Windows 11. The technician needs to provide the least disruptive solution that allows the application to run on the existing Windows 11 desktop without modifying the host OS or purchasing new hardware. Which of the following should the technician implement?

Choose an answer to begin — your selection is scored in the full session.

Accepted Answer

Type 2 hypervisor. A Type 2 hypervisor installs as software on the existing Windows 11 host, letting the technician create a Windows XP VM with minimal disruption. It avoids reimaging the host or buying new hardware, and the VM remains isolated. Type 1 hypervisors replace the host OS, VDI needs server infrastructure, and application virtualization cannot provide a full legacy OS.

Answer

Type 1 hypervisor

Answer

Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI)

Answer

Application virtualization

Question 2

A company is migrating its on-premises file server to a public cloud provider. The IT team must ensure that the shared storage remains accessible to multiple virtual machines simultaneously and that the data is replicated across multiple geographic regions for disaster recovery. Which two of the following should the team implement? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Configure a cloud file storage service with SMB protocol support.. A cloud file storage service with SMB support enables multiple VMs to access the same share concurrently, and enabling cross-region replication ensures the data is copied to a secondary region for disaster recovery. Together they satisfy shared access and geographic redundancy. Block storage, RAID across zones, and VPN gateways do not meet both requirements.

Answer

Attach the same block storage volume to all VMs using iSCSI.

Answer

Deploy a VPN gateway between the on-premises network and the cloud.

Answer

Create a RAID 5 array across multiple cloud availability zones.

Question 3

A user reports that their virtual machine running on a Type 2 hypervisor is performing poorly when running a graphics-intensive application. The host machine has a powerful GPU, but the VM only shows a basic display adapter. Which of the following should the technician configure to improve performance?

Accepted Answer

Enable 3D acceleration and allocate more video memory in the VM settings.. Enabling 3D acceleration and increasing video memory lets the VM leverage the host GPU, which is essential for graphics-intensive applications. The VM currently shows a basic adapter because GPU passthrough or 3D acceleration is not enabled. CPU, network, and hardware-assisted virtualization settings do not provide graphics acceleration.

Answer

Configure a bridged network adapter for the VM.

Answer

Increase the number of virtual CPUs assigned to the VM.

Answer

Enable hardware-assisted virtualization in the VM settings.
