A company is deploying a cloud-based application that requires consistent compute performance and will be sensitive to 'noisy neighbors' on a physical host. To best meet these requirements, which of the following compute resource allocation strategies should the cloud professional employ when configuring the virtual machine?
The correct answer is 'Reserve compute resources'. By reserving compute resources, the cloud professional ensures that the specified amount of CPU (or other compute resources) is always available to the virtual machine, which helps in maintaining consistent performance and minimizes the impact of other virtual machines on the same physical host, known as the 'noisy neighbor' effect. The incorrect options, 'Enable dynamic resource allocation' and 'Overcommit resources', both can lead to variability in performance, which the scenario specifies should be avoided. 'Static resource allocation without reservation' will allocate the resources at the time of provisioning but does not guarantee their availability throughout the VM's operation.
