Vagrant is a tool that allows users to create and configure lightweight, reproducible, and portable development environments. Vagrant supports multiple providers, which are the backends that Vagrant uses to create and manage the virtual machines. By default, VirtualBox is the default provider for Vagrant. VirtualBox is still the most accessible platform to use Vagrant: it is free, cross-platform, and has been supported by Vagrant for years. With VirtualBox as the default provider, it provides the lowest friction for new users to get started with Vagrant. However, users can also use other providers, such as VMware, Hyper-V, Docker, or LXC, depending on their preferences and needs. To use another provider, users must install it as a Vagrant plugin and specify it when running Vagrant commands. Users can also change the default provider by setting the VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER environmental variable. References:

Question 2
Which of the following statements are true regarding a Pod in Kubernetes? (Choose two.)
Options:
A.
All containers of a Pod run on the same node.
B.
Pods are always created automatically and cannot be explicitly configured.
C.
A Pod is the smallest unit of workload Kubernetes can run.
D.
When a Pod fails, Kubernetes restarts the Pod on another node by default.
E.
systemd is used to manage individual Pods on the Kubernetes nodes.
Answer:
A, C
Explanation:
Explanation:
A Pod in Kubernetes is a collection of one or more containers that share the same network and storage resources, and a specification for how to run the containers. A Pod is the smallest unit of workload Kubernetes can run, meaning that it cannot be divided into smaller units. Therefore, option C is correct. All containers of a Pod run on the same node, which is the smallest unit of computing hardware in Kubernetes. A node is a physical or virtual machine that hosts one or more Pods. Therefore, option A is also correct. Pods are not always created automatically and cannot be explicitly configured. Pods can be created manually using YAML or JSON files, or using commands like kubectl run or kubectl create. Pods can also be created automatically by higher-level controllers, such as Deployment, ReplicaSet, or StatefulSet. Therefore, option B is incorrect. When a Pod fails, Kubernetes does not restart the Pod on another node by default. Pods are ephemeral by nature, meaning that they can be terminated or deleted at any time. If a Pod is managed by a controller, the controller will create a new Pod to replace the failed one, but it may not be on the same node. Therefore, option D is incorrect. systemd is not used to manage individual Pods on the Kubernetes nodes. systemd is a system and service manager for Linux operating systems that can start and stop services, such as docker or kubelet. However, systemd does not interact with Podsdirectly. Pods are managed by the kubelet service, which is an agent that runs on each node and communicates with the Kubernetes control plane. Therefore, option E is incorrect. References:

Question 3
Which command within virsh lists the virtual machines that are running on the current host?
Options:
A.
I view
B.
list-vm
C.
list
D.
show
E.
list-all
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Explanation:
The command virsh list is used to list all running domains (VMs) on the current host. The command virsh list --all can be used to list both active and inactive domains. The other options are not valid virsh commands. The command virsh list is a basic command that lists all running domains (VMs). You can also list all configured VMs by adding the --all option. This is useful if you want to see all VMs configured in the target hypervisor that you can use on subsequent commands1. References:
