Election-night tabulation virtual machines share hypervisors with public web servers, and a research HPC cluster adds further multi-tenant exposure. What architectural concern is most critical?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Election tabulation next to a public website on the same hypervisor is roommate roulette. Sensitive workloads need their own building—or at least their own floor—not a bunk bed with the internet.
Full Explanation
Virtualized and distributed environments introduce shared infrastructure risks including escape, noisy neighbor, and misconfiguration across tenants. High-sensitivity election systems should not share hypervisor or cluster trust domains with public web or open research workloads. Stronger isolation, dedicated capacity, and clear segmentation address those architectural concerns.
