Resource reuse on hypervisor platforms can lead to shared virtualized infrastructure components retaining data residue from previously executed processes.
False
True
The correct answer is true. In a virtualized environment, resource reuse refers to the allocation and deallocation of resources such as memory and storage to different virtual machines (VMs). If a hypervisor does not properly sanitize these resources before reallocating them, there's a potential for sensitive data to remain, which could be accessed by another VM. This scenario is known as 'data remanence' and can lead to security risks if one VM is able to retrieve residual data from another VM that previously used the same resources.
