A software developer needs to test an application that is designed to run on a Linux server. The developer's primary workstation runs Windows 11. Which of the following is the most suitable and efficient method for the developer to create a testing environment?
Purchase a dedicated physical computer to install the Linux server OS.
Use a cloud-based VDI to stream a Linux desktop to the workstation.
Install a hypervisor on the Windows workstation and create a Linux server virtual machine.
Replace the Windows 11 operating system with the Linux server OS on the workstation.
Using a hypervisor to create a virtual machine (VM) on the Windows 11 workstation is the most efficient and suitable method. This process, known as client-side virtualization, allows a guest operating system (like a Linux server) to run in an isolated environment on a host operating system (Windows 11). This avoids the need for purchasing additional physical hardware or reconfiguring the developer's primary workstation, making it a common practice for development and testing.
