Exam N10-008 topic 1 question 8 discussion

I agree with the answer giving. Question states that the network looks fine, So its more than likely hardware related ie. The specs of the vm are too high for the computer the clients are working on (CPU and Memory are the most likely causing the issue)

A and B. Given that 100 VMs are present, it's likely exhausting resources from the system causing unresponsive system due to possible DoS (Denial of Service).

CPU Usage: When multiple users are utilizing virtual machines (VMs), high CPU usage can lead to slow or unresponsive desktops. If the CPU is overloaded, VMs may struggle to process user requests efficiently, resulting in performance degradation. Memory: Insufficient memory (RAM) can also cause performance issues, especially when multiple VMs are running concurrently. If the VMs are competing for limited memory resources, it can lead to swapping or paging, slowing down overall system performance.

this seemed the most logical and i sort of guessed but smart guessed

I believe CPU usage and Memory is the defining factor if it isn't coming from Bandwidth or anything else.

If the problem is not associated with the networking-related layer of the system infrastructure/architecture, then you have to think about computing hardware or resources.

A. CPU usage and B. Memory are the two metrics that will most accurately show the underlying performance issues in this scenario. To accurately show the underlying performance issues in this scenario, monitoring the CPU usage and memory will be most helpful. The slow or unresponsive desktops experienced by 100 users suggest a bottleneck on the VM host. Temperature, bandwidth, latency, and jitter are unlikely to be the cause of the problem, based on the reported network metrics.

Very Broad question - Doesn't tell you if the VMs are hosted on the machines or on a Hypervisor so you have to just Ass-ume that its on the computers.

Network is good so computer must be bad

Right away I just seem it's a network issue but in the question it indicates that it is not a network issue so it's clearly a VM issue. So what slows down computers? It's going to be a memory and a CPU usage issue.

Technically CPU usage, Memory Usage and temperature can all affect performance but the question asks for two answers that MOST accurately show the underlying performance issues. This would only be A and B :)
