Virtualization — CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) Practice Questions

Virtualization is the technology that allows a single physical host machine to run multiple isolated operating system instances simultaneously, and it is a tested topic on the A+ Core 2 exam. Candidates must understand the difference between type 1 hypervisors (bare metal, such as Hyper-V and VMware ESXi) and type 2 hypervisors (hosted, such as VirtualBox and VMware Workstation), as well as key concepts like virtual CPUs, virtual NICs, snapshots, and resource allocation. The exam covers practical client-side virtualization scenarios, including setting up a VM for development or testing and connecting virtual machines to host or external networks. Security benefits such as sandboxing and isolation, and the requirement for hardware virtualization support enabled in BIOS/UEFI, are also fair game.
