Match each virtualization component on the left with its corresponding primary function or definition on the right.
- HypervisorSoftware layer that manages host physical hardware resources and abstracts them for guest systems
- Virtual Switch (vSwitch)Software entity operating inside the host to perform Layer 2 frame forwarding between virtual instances
- Virtual Network Interface Card (vNIC)Software-based network adapter presented to a guest operating system to enable network connectivity
- Virtual Machine (VM)Isolated software container executing a full guest operating system and applications
Cevap
Hypervisor matches with the software layer managing host hardware resources; Virtual Switch matches with the software entity performing Layer 2 frame forwarding; Virtual Network Interface Card matches with the software-based network adapter presented to a guest OS; Virtual Machine matches with the isolated software container executing a guest OS.
Each virtualized component serves a distinct role in network and hardware virtualization: the hypervisor manages underlying hardware allocation, the vSwitch handles software-based Layer 2 frame forwarding, the vNIC functions as the software network adapter for guest OS connection, and the VM is the hosted guest compute instance.
