How much do you know about virtual machines? Can you pass this virtual machines quiz? Give it a try and evaluate yourself. Virtual machines (VMs) enable a business to run an operating system that works like a completely separate computer in an application window on a desktop. The quiz will be very tough and test your knowledge and understanding of the same. We hope you like this quiz and score the highest marks.

- A.
  
  Reduces the frequency of hardware-related service outages.
- B.
  
  Has no material impact.
- C.
  
  Requires that levels of redundancy be increased to avoid an increase in outages affecting multiple applications or services.
- D.
  
  None of the options is correct.

10.

When deciding on the placement of development, testing/QA and production instances of applications and databases:
