What type of resource management does vMotion facilitate?

vMotion facilitates the real-time migration of virtual machines without downtime, making it a powerful feature of VMware vSphere. This capability allows you to move a running virtual machine from one physical host to another while it continues to operate without interruptions. The process is seamless and transparent to the end-users, as there is no noticeable downtime or disruption of service.

This technology is particularly valuable for load balancing workloads across hosts, performing maintenance on hardware, and managing resources effectively in a virtualized environment. By leveraging vMotion, organizations can optimize their computing resources, maintain high availability, and ensure that applications remain accessible, even when underlying physical resources need to be changed or upgraded.

In contrast, other options such as database management or configuration management are not directly related to the functions provided by vMotion. Similarly, physical server allocation pertains to hardware management rather than the dynamic migration capabilities that vMotion offers.
