Frederick is trying to deploy a number of new virtual machines to a new private cloud that his company has just built in their data center. He knows that he needs to configure the virtual machines to have multiple vCPUs, but he also knows that the number of vCPUs needed outnumbers the actual number of total logical cores available on the physical servers. Which of the following might describe one of the concepts he could implement in this scenario?
A) Multithreading
B) Rationing
C) Overcommitment ratio
D) Slippery slope

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Overcommitment ratio refers to the practice of allocating more virtual CPUs (vCPUs) to virtual machines than there are actual physical CPU cores available. This is based on the understanding that not all virtual machines will be using their maximum CPU capacity at the same time, allowing for efficient use of resources.
