[All 4A0-AI1 Questions]

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of virtualization?

AReduced capital and operating costs

BBetter scalability

CVendor agnostic

DSoftware and hardware are tightly coupled

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

some of the benefits of virtualization are:

Reduced capital and operating costs

Better scalability

Higher availability and resiliency

Environmentally friendly

Virtualization enables decoupling of the software and hardware components, so that software can be deployed on any hardware platform without requiring the hardware to be specifically designed for the software. The other three options are all benefits of virtualization.

Software and hardware are tightly coupled is NOT a benefit of virtualization. Virtualization allows software to run independently of the hardware, enabling greater flexibility and scalability. This leads to reduced capital and operating costs, as well as vendor agnostic solutions.

Vendor agnostic? More like vendor-tastic with virtualization!

I'm going with D. Tight coupling is the opposite of what virtualization is all about.

I agree with Vicky. I recall discussing how virtualization decouples software from hardware, which makes D the correct choice.

I’m a bit confused. I thought all options were benefits, but D seems like the odd one out since it suggests a limitation.

I'm a little confused by this question. Aren't all of these potential benefits of virtualization? I'll have to review my notes to make sure I understand this properly.

Virtualization is supposed to make things more flexible, not tightly coupled. I'm pretty confident D is the correct answer here.

Okay, let's see. Reduced costs, better scalability, and vendor independence are all well-known benefits of virtualization. The only one that doesn't fit is D, so that's gotta be the answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know virtualization has a lot of benefits, but I'm not sure I can confidently rule out any of these options. Might need to think it through carefully.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'm pretty sure the answer is D - virtualization actually decouples software and hardware, so that can't be a benefit.
