Key Concepts
100
This hardware device allows a computer to connect to a network.
What is a NIC?
100
This exact copy of a virtual machine still needs to be configured to ensure a unique identity.
What is clone?
100
This is the virtual representation of a processor.
What is vCPU?
100
This type of microprocessor contains more than one processing unit.
What is multicore?
100
This industry standard data file contains an exact image of a CD or DVD.
What is ISO?
200
A measure of network performance defined by the amount of data that can travel through a network in a given period.
What is bandwidth?
200
The set of files that preserve the state of a virtual machine.
What is snapshot?
200
This UNIX or Linux program runs in the background to perform specific tasks.
What is daemon?
200
This acronym stands for universal serial bus, an industry standard.
What is USB?
200
This practice combines multiple physical servers into one server through virtualization.
What is consolidation?
300
This virtual networking technology directly connects a virtual network adapter to the physical network.
What is bridged network?
300
This type of virtual machine is used as a mold for a commonly used configuration.
What is template?
300
This open-source operating system is derived from UNIX.
What is Linux?
300
This network device converts digital signals to analog signals and back again.
What is modem?
300
This computer room can be as large a separate building.
What is data center?
400
This open standard allows a computer to synchronize with time servers.
What is NTP?
400
This hardware or software appliance balances network traffic from multiple sources.
What is load balancer?
400
This is the process of deploying applications on a virtual machine to avoid the pitfalls of using physical hardware and software.
What is containment?
400
This industry standard defines how storage devices connect and transfer data.
What is SCSI?
400
This software provides the environment in which a virtual machine can operate, and can be installed either onto the OS or directly onto hardware.
What is hypervisor?
500
This protocol allows a virtual machine to share an IP address with other virtual machines while keeping its own private address.
What is NAT?
500
This process enables a hypervisor to reclaim physical memory pages by forcing the virtual machine OS to flush memory pages to disk
What is ballooning?
500
This memory optimization technique compresses memory pages and stores them in a designated cache.
What is compression?
500
This Intel technology makes more efficient use of processor technology by scheduling two tasks instead of one.
What is hyper-threading?
500
This computer server has no OS installed
What is bare-metal?
