Exam CCSP topic 1 question 311 discussion

and the answer is not correct. Type 1 hypervisor can be installed directly to different types of hardware, and normally type 1 hypervisors vendors, like cytrix and vmware do not produce hardware

A Type 1 hypervisor (also known as a bare-metal hypervisor) runs directly on the hardware without an underlying operating system. Typically, the hardware vendor (e.g., Dell, HP, Cisco) is separate from the hypervisor vendor (e.g., VMware, Microsoft, Citrix, Red Hat), making option A the most accurate statement. Why Not the Others? B. The hardware vendor and software vendor are the same: Not necessarily true—many Type 1 hypervisors, like VMware ESXi or Microsoft Hyper-V, can run on hardware from multiple vendors. C. The hardware vendor provides an open platform for software vendors: While some hardware vendors optimize for certain hypervisors, this is not a defining characteristic of Type 1 hypervisors. D. The hardware vendor and software vendor should always be different for security: Security concerns exist, but this is not a strict requirement. Some companies (like IBM or Oracle) offer both hardware and hypervisor solutions together.

The correct answer is B. The hardware vendor and software vendor are the same. Type 1 hypervisors, also known as bare-metal hypervisors, run directly on the host's hardware to control the hardware and manage guest operating systems. This means they are typically designed and provided by the same vendor that provides the hardware.

I changed my answer here to C after reading more about this

Type 1 hypervisors, also known as bare-metal hypervisors, run directly on the host's hardware to control the hardware and manage guest operating systems. The hardware and software vendors are typically different entities in this scenario.

The answer is "B". Hardware and software vendors are typically the same or closely linked, ensuring tightly integrated and optimized virtualization. This relationship enhances hardware support, performance, and security. While exceptions exist, most common Type 1 hypervisor solutions follow this pattern.

Wrong answer. it should be C

In the case of Type 1 hypervisors, the hardware vendor and software vendor are typically different entities. The hardware vendor manufactures and sells the physical hardware, such as servers or devices that support virtualization, while the software vendor develops and provides the hypervisor software that enables virtualization on that hardware.

B: The hardware vendor and software vendor are the same

B. The hardware vendor and software vendor are the same

Question very unclear. Here is why: A Cloud Hypervisor comparison of major cloud providers demonstrates their similarity. Amazon AWS EC2 uses a Cloud Hypervisor that is a customized version of the Xen hypervisor that takes advantage of paravirtualization for Linux guest VMs. The Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Cloud Hypervisor is also based on the open-source KVM hypervisor; Google also invests in additional security hardening and protection and contributes their changes back to the KVM project for the benefit of all. The Microsoft Azure Cloud Hypervisor is based on Microsoft Hyper-V, another Type 1 hypervisor popular in Windows environments and customized for the Microsoft Azure platform.

Question itself is very wrong

Question and answer technically are false

What you need to understand is that certain Key Vendors such as Dell and HP always have tend to have their own variant of Hypervisor Software for VMware.

question make no sense

The answer seems to be correct dont think Vmware think Nitro for AWS https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/nitro/ dedicated hardware and software
