What is a feature available for a live migration of a VM in an AOS 5.5 implementation?

The VM can be relocated within the same host
The VM can be moved to a different host
The VM cannot change its storage during migration
The VM will experience downtime during migration

The correct answer is: The VM can be moved to a different host

In AOS 5.5, one of the significant features supporting live migration of virtual machines (VMs) is the capability to move a VM to a different host without incurring downtime. This process, often referred to as "live migration," allows for the seamless transfer of VM workloads across hosts within the same cluster or even different clusters. This feature is particularly important for load balancing, maintenance, or scaling operations, as it enables administrators to move VMs around with minimal disruption to services. By supporting live migration, AOS ensures that VMs can continue to run while being relocated, which is vital for maintaining availability and performance in a production environment. This capability illustrates the advanced cluster management features of Nutanix, making it a flexible and powerful solution for organizations that require high availability and operational efficiency in their virtualized environments.
