A systems administrator is attempting to gather information about services and resource utilization on VMs in a cloud environment. Which of the following will best accomplish this objective?
Correct Answer: E
Performance monitoring is a technique that collects and analyzes data about the services and resource utilization on VMs in a cloud environment. Performance monitoring can help the systems administrator to gather information about the CPU, memory, disk, network, and application performance of the VMs, as well as identify any bottlenecks, errors, or anomalies that may affect the cloud service quality. Performance monitoring can be implemented using various tools or agents that can collect and report the performance metrics from the VMs to a centralized dashboard or console. Performance monitoring can also help the systems administrator to optimize, troubleshoot, and plan the cloud resources and services.
