What is the term associated with this determination?
When finite resources are available within a cloud, and there is a need to determine which customers receive additional resources first, this process is referred to as prioritization. This involves assessing the needs and importance of the resources to each customer and then determining the order in which resources are allocated. Prioritization ensures that the most critical and high-priority tasks or customers get the necessary resources before others.
The correct answer is B. Prioritization. In a cloud environment, resources are often shared among many different customers. When there is not enough capacity to meet the demands of all customers at the same time, the cloud provider must decide which customers will receive additional resources first. This process of determining which customers will receive additional resources first is called prioritization.
Shares: The concept of shares is used to arbitrate the issues associated with compute resource contention situations. Resource contention implies that there are too many requests for resources based on the actual available amount of resources currently in the system. If resource contention takes place, share values are used to prioritize compute resource access for all guests assigned a certain ratio of shares. The shares are weighed and used as a percentage against all outstanding shares assigned and in use by all powered-on guests to calculate the amount of resources each individual guest will be given access to. The higher the share value assigned to a guest, the larger the percentage of the remaining resources that guest will be given access to during the contention period
B. Prioritization
This is the strangest question. Shares have weighting which determines the prioritization so hope you guess correctly.
Seems like the question asks for terminology. "Shares" is a defined term in this context - "priorisation" is the desired effect, but not defined as the term for what is described.
C. Share. CBK Reference: Share is a weighting given to a particular VM that is used to calculate percentagebased access to pooled resouces when there is a contention.
The correct answer is B
Shares
When cloud resources are finite, providers use "shares" to determine which customers receive additional resources. This concept involves assigning a relative priority (or weight) to each customer so that, in times of resource contention, the customer with a higher share value gets additional resources before others. While terms like weighting or prioritization might seem similar, "shares" is the precise term used in cloud resource management for this purpose.
