An administrator receives reports from the application team of poor performance of a virtual ma-chine (VM). The administrator reviews the virtual machine and discovers that it has 20 snapshots that are over 12 months old.
What could the administrator do to improve the VM’s performance?
Having 20 snapshots, especially ones that are over 12 months old, can significantly degrade the performance of a virtual machine. Snapshots are not intended to be kept long-term as they can increase disk space usage and impact I/O performance due to the overhead associated with maintaining the state differences. By consolidating all of the snapshots into the base VM, the administrator can merge these changes back into the original virtual machine disk and eliminate the additional overhead, thereby improving the VM's performance.
