A server administrator needs to deploy five VMs, all of which must have the same type of configuration.
Which of the following would be the MOST efficient way to perform this task?
The Correct Answer is: D. Use a VM template
A VM template is a pre-configured virtual machine image that includes the operating system, settings, and base configuration. It is the most efficient way to deploy multiple virtual machines with identical configurations. The administrator can quickly deploy all five VMs by cloning the template, ensuring consistency and saving time.
Why the other options are incorrect:
A. Snapshot a VM
A snapshot captures the state of a VM at a particular moment but is not meant for creating new VMs. It is used for rollback, not deployment.
B. Use a physical host
A physical host provides the underlying hardware but does not help automate or speed up the creation of multiple VMs with identical configurations.
C. Perform a P2V conversion
A P2V (Physical to Virtual) conversion is used to convert an existing physical server into a VM. It is not relevant for deploying multiple new VMs from a standard image.
