Question 1: Choose a virtual server use case and describe how it improves business agility.

Question 2: Compare Xen and Linux containers (LXC). Which one provides better isolation, and which one provides better efficiency, please justify your answer.

Question 3: Describe the fundamental differences between the full virtualization technique and para-virtualization technique (please note that whether the guest OS is required to be modified is the consequence, not the fundamental differences).

Question 4: Describe why it is despicable whether Linux KVM is a type 1 or type 2 hypervisor.

Question 5: Why the traditional x86-based system is not virtualizable? How does the intel VT address the problem?
For a VM with more than 8 virtual processors, why is it a good practice for the hypervisor exposing the underlying NUMA topology to the VM?

Question 6: What is the most official mechanism for content-based memory sharing among virtual machines?

Question 7: What is the key data structure that enables the hot migration of VM, and how is such data structure used?

Question 8: Compare the pros and cons of the emulated I/O devices and the synthetic I/O devices for the VM.

Question 9: While consolidating servers using virtual machines, what kind of applications are better to be put on the same host, and what kind of applications are better to be put on different hosts? (Assuming we keep one application per virtual server.
