Selected Answer: C

GPU pass-through is used when one or more GPUs are dedicated to a single VM. Pass-through allows the VM to address the GPU directly without having to go through the hypervisor stack. This significantly improves performance for the application. Pass-through is used for very GPU-intensive workloads such as deep learning, artificial intelligence, and data analytics.

Selected Answer: C

C. Passthrough GPU would be the best configuration option to meet the requirement of a full GPU dedicated to the machine-learning training VM. Passthrough GPU, also known as GPU pass-through, allows a physical GPU to be directly assigned to a virtual machine, providing the VM with full access to the GPU’s resources. This means that the VM will have a dedicated physical GPU, providing the performance required for machine-learning training.
