Q12 : VM migration is the process of moving a running virtual machine from one
physical hardware environment to another, without disconnecting the client. It can be
provided as cold migration, warm migration, and light migration.
1. Yes
2. No

Q13 : In RAID, mirroring is a technique that ensures to spread data across multiple
drives in order to use the drives in parallel.
1. Yes
2. No

Q14 : Full virtualization and Para-virtualization are two types of hypervisor-based

virtualization that could be differentiated by their monolithic and micro-kernelled
architectures:
1. Yes
2. No
Justify:
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………

Q15 : Compared to a full virtualization, para-virtualization is a type of hypervisor-

based virtualization that could be differentiated by the use of a software that is directly
installed and runs on the physical hardware and can in theory exists without any
accompanying operating system.
1. Yes
2. No

Q16 : Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging architecture that is dynamic,
manageable, cost-effective, and adaptable solution for building high bandwidth
networks.
1. Yes
2. No

Q17 : The monolithic architecture illustrated in the figure below refers to the
implementation of a shared Virtualization stack and a distributed driver model.

1. Yes
2. No
Justify:
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………

Q18 : the monolithic hypervisors are built-on a secure and stable architecture that
minimizes the attack surface (i.e., foreign code is not loaded in the hypervisor and a
driver getting compromised or crashing outright will only affect a single VM instead of
everything on the host).
1. Yes
2. No

Q19 : In a live migration, two iterative techniques for moving the virtual machine's
memory state from the source to the destination are implemented; namely, a Pre-copy
memory migration and a Past-copy memory migration.
1. Yes
2. No
Justify:
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………

Q20 : Live migration can be initiated by copying the memory state to the destination
(through a repetitive process), after which the processor state is transferred. Such a
technique is referred as Pre-copy memory migration.
1. Yes
2. No
