200-901 Question 110
Select 3You are tasked with deploying an application on a bare-metal server to achieve maximum performance and direct hardware access. Which of the following characteristics apply to bare-metal servers in this context?
- A
Direct access to physical hardware for optimized performance
- B
Requires a hypervisor for workload management
- C
Less overhead compared to virtualized environments
- D
Provides built-in scalability through virtualization
- E
Allows for custom configurations tailored to specific workloads
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
Bare-metal servers provide direct access to physical hardware, which is ideal for workloads requiring maximum performance and low latency. They operate with minimal overhead compared to virtualized environments and allow for customized configurations. However, they do not inherently include virtualization features like hypervisors or built-in scalability, which are characteristics of virtualized environments.
- A. Correct.
Direct access to physical hardware is a key benefit of bare-metal servers, enabling optimized performance without the need for virtualization layers.
- B. Incorrect.
Bare-metal servers do not inherently require a hypervisor. They run directly on physical hardware without the abstraction layer of virtualization.
- C. Correct.
Bare-metal servers operate with less overhead compared to virtualized environments since there is no hypervisor or virtualization stack.
- D. Incorrect.
Built-in scalability through virtualization applies to virtualized environments, not bare-metal servers, which lack the abstraction and flexibility provided by virtualization.
- E. Correct.
Bare-metal servers allow for custom configurations, such as specific operating systems or hardware setups, tailored to the needs of specific workloads.
