c. What type of hypervisor is VMWare Workstation? Is it type 1 hypervisor or type 2 hypervisor?


VMware Workstation is an example of a type 2 hypervisor. We can install it on top of an existing Windows
Operating system 
d. Which of the following implements OS virtualization by being installed in a general-purpose host
OS and the host OS accesses host hardware on behalf of the guest OS? (Select one)

A) hosted virtualization
B) virtual disk
C) type 1 hypervisor
D) bare-metal hypervisor

e. What are Containers?


Containers provide a way to virtualize an Operating system so that multiple workloads can run on a
single OS instance. Containers sit on top of a physical server and its host Operating System

f. What is Windows Sandbox?


Windows Sandbox is a very lightweight desktop environment to safely run any applications in isolation
MODE. Software installed inside the Windows Sandbox environment remains sandboxed and runs
separately from the host windows machine.

g. What is Cloud Computing?


The practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process
data, rather than a local server or a personal computer.

The cloud is just a metaphor for the Internet. It goes back to the days of flowcharts and presentations
that would represent the gigantic server-farm infrastructure of the Internet as nothing but a puffy, white
cumulus cloud, accepting connections and doling out information as it floats.
