Bare metal servers take longer to provision

Question:
Why do bare metal servers take longer to provision than virtual servers?

  1. Customer configures the physical servers
  2. They are multi-tenant servers, and all tenants must help configure them
  3. GPU configuration takes time
  4. They are physical servers that can be customized to a specified capacity
Answer:
D - is the correct answer. Bare-metal servers are physical machines and take longer to provision than virtual servers, as physical resources with specified capacity may need to be configured by the cloud provider before they are made available to users
