305-300 Exam Dumps : LPIC-3: Virtualization and Containerization - Exam 305, version 3.0

LXC implements system containers, which are a type of operating-system-level virtualization. System containers allow running multiple isolated Linux systems on a single Linux control host, using a single Linux kernel. System containers share the same kernel with the host and each other, but have their own file system, libraries, andprocesses. System containers are different from application containers, which are designed to run a single application or service in an isolated environment. Application containers are usually smaller and more portable than system containers, but also more dependent on the host kernel and libraries. Hardware containers, CPU emulation, and paravirtualization are not related to LXC, as they are different kinds of virtualization methods that involve hardware abstraction, instruction translation, or modification of the guest operating system. References:

The correct command to boot a QEMU virtual machine using hardware virtualization extensions is qemu -accel kvm -drive file-debian.img -cdrom debian.iso -m 1024 -boot d. This command uses the -accel option to specify the hardware accelerator to use, which in this case is kvm. KVM is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V)1. The -drive option specifies the disk image file to use, which in this case is debian.img. The -cdrom option specifies the ISO image file to use as a CD-ROM, which in this case is debian.iso. The -m option specifies the amount of memory to allocate to the virtualmachine, which in this case is 1024 MB. The -boot option specifies the boot order, which in this case is d, meaning to boot from the CD-ROM first. References:

The CPU architecture of a QEMU virtual machine is independent of the host system’s architecture. QEMU can emulate many CPU architectures, including x86, ARM, Alpha, and SPARC, regardless of the host system’s architecture1. This allows QEMU to run guest operating systems that are not compatible with the host system’s hardware. Therefore, option A is correct. QEMU virtual machines support multiple virtual CPUs in order to run SMP systems. QEMU uses the concept of virtual CPUs (vCPUs) to map the virtual machines to physical CPUs. Each vCPU is a thread that runs on a physical CPU core. QEMU allows the user to specify the number of vCPUs and the CPU model for each virtual machine. QEMU can run SMP systems with multiple vCPUs, as well as single-processor systems with one vCPU2. Therefore, option E is also correct. The other options are incorrect because they do not describe the CPU of a QEMU virtual machine. Option B is wrong because QEMU virtual machines can have more than one CPU with more than one core. Option C is wrong because QEMU does not require a dedicated physical CPU core for each virtual machine. QEMU can share the physical CPU cores among multiple virtual machines, depending on the load and the scheduling policy. Option D is wrong because QEMU does not use the term CPU, but vCPU, to refer to the virtual machines’ processors. References:
