You are working on a virtual guest design for the deployment of a critical business application. The
software vendor has provided you with some projected workloads. One of the project requirements
is to ensure that business application performance is guaranteed. Which of the following would be
the best approach for guest configuration?

A.
Configure the virtual guest with a reservation, as specified, as the minimum requirement for the
applicationto run.

B.
Configure the virtual guest with a reservation, as specified, as the projected initial workload
requirement.

Explanation:

Allocated resources are shown in the guest operating system and are not guaranteed. Theamount
depends on the unreserved resources available at the time. Assuming no functionality issues, you
canconfigure a production application to be guaranteed its projected workload, and the system
should deliver.
Without a reservation, there is potential for a performance impact if there is contention.
