What this objective tests

220-1101 Virtualization and Cloud Computing — Key Topics

Virtualization and Cloud Computing questions on this certification test your ability to deploy and manage virtualization and cloud computing concepts in scenario-based situations.

Core Virtualization and Cloud Computing concepts and how they apply in real-world cloud scenarios.
How to deploy virtualization and cloud computing correctly and verify the outcome.
Troubleshooting virtualization and cloud computing issues by interpreting error output and system state.
Cloud best practices and Virtualization and Cloud Computing design trade-offs tested by this certification.

Common exam traps

Where candidates lose marks on Virtualization and Cloud Computing

⚠Selecting the most expensive service when a simpler managed option meets the requirement.
⚠Forgetting that cloud resources must be explicitly secured — defaults are rarely secure.
⚠Choosing a global service fix when the issue is region-specific.
⚠Overlooking cost implications of cross-region data transfer in architecture questions.

A company runs multiple virtual machines on a single hypervisor host running a Type 2 hypervisor on a Windows Server. The IT team needs to give a graphics-intensive VM direct access to the physical GPU for CAD rendering. Which of the following technologies should be implemented?

A company uses a public cloud IaaS provider. They are billed monthly based on the total hours their virtual machines are running and the amount of block storage allocated. Which cloud computing characteristic does this billing model represent?

A company hosts a database virtual machine in a public IaaS cloud. The VM is experiencing slow performance due to high disk I/O latency. The administrator wants to improve performance without changing the VM size (vCPU or RAM). Which of the following actions would MOST likely resolve the issue?

A company plans to run multiple virtual servers on a single physical host to reduce hardware costs. The IT team wants direct hardware access for each virtual machine to maximize performance and minimize latency. Which of the following is the most appropriate hypervisor type to deploy?

A company runs multiple virtual machines on a single hypervisor host using a Type 2 hypervisor. The IT manager wants to migrate to a Type 1 hypervisor to improve performance and reduce overhead. Which of the following is a key advantage of using a Type 1 hypervisor in this scenario?

An IT department runs several virtualized database servers on a single physical host using a Type 2 hypervisor. They plan to replace the Type 2 hypervisor with a Type 1 hypervisor to improve performance. Which of the following is a primary advantage of a Type 1 hypervisor in this scenario?

A startup is developing a new web application. They want to write code and deploy it without worrying about the underlying operating system, web server, or scaling. Which cloud service model should they choose?
