• Question 19:

  A VM does not have enough resources for the demand, which leads to performance bottlenecks. The VM is exhibiting one or more of following baseline values, based on the past 30 days:

  CPU usage > 90% (moderate), 95% (high)

  CPU ready time > 5%, 10%

  Memory usage > 90%, 95%

  Memory swap rate > 0 Kbps (no moderate value)

  Which type of VM is being described?

  A. Constrained VM

  B. Bully VM

  C. Inactive VM

  D. Over-provisioned VM

  Correct Answer: A

  Constrained VM is one that does not have enough resources for the demand and can lead to performance bottlenecks. A VM is considered constrained when it exhibits one or more of the following baseline values, based on the past 30 days:

  CPU usage > 90% (moderate), 95% (high)

  CPU ready time > 5%, 10%

  Memory usage > 90%, 95%

  Memory swap rate > 0 Kbps (no moderate value)
