CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201)Virtualization and Cloud ComputingHard
A DevOps team is running hundreds of containers across multiple physical hosts and needs a system to automatically schedule, scale, and restart failed containers across the entire cluster. Which type of tool provides this functionality?
- AType 1 hypervisor
- BContainer orchestration platform
- CVDI connection broker
- DCloud access security broker
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Container orchestration platform
A container orchestration platform, such as Kubernetes, automates the deployment, scaling, scheduling, and health monitoring of containers across a cluster of hosts.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. A Type 1 hypervisor manages virtual machines directly on hardware, not container scheduling across a cluster.
- C. A VDI connection broker manages virtual desktop session connections, unrelated to container management.
- D. A cloud access security broker enforces security policies between cloud users and providers, not container scheduling.
Container Orchestration
A system (e.g., Kubernetes) that automates the deployment, scaling, scheduling, and health management of containers across a cluster of hosts.
- Kubernetes is the most widely used orchestration platform
- Automatically restarts failed containers
- Manages scaling and load distribution across nodes
Memory trick: Orchestration conducts an army of containers like a symphony.
