Match the workload to the right model: choose the hypervisor type, cloud service and deployment model, and storage access method that meet the requirement with the least disruption. The key skill is reading the constraint, such as legacy OS support or multi-VM shared access, and selecting the option that satisfies it.

Domain overview
This domain covers cloud service and deployment models, virtualization types and resource requirements, and the practical tradeoffs of running workloads off physical hardware. Questions are scenario-based: you pick the least disruptive or most appropriate solution, such as a compatibility mode, hypervisor type, or cloud storage tier, and justify it against cost, performance, and access needs.
Exam objectives
Cloud models: IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, plus public, private, hybrid, and community deployment types
Type 1 bare-metal versus Type 2 hosted hypervisors and their use cases
VM resources: CPU and memory allocation, virtual disks, snapshots, and guest tools/drivers
Cloud storage and access: shared file storage, block storage, object storage, and replication
Assuming a Type 2 hypervisor passes the host GPU through automatically; without guest additions or passthrough, the VM shows only a basic display adapter.
Confusing IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS responsibility boundaries, so the wrong model is chosen when the customer only wants to manage an application.
Treating snapshots as backups; snapshots are point-in-time VM states and do not replace independent, off-host backup copies.

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?
2A 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.)
3A 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?
