Certified - CompTIA Cloud+

This episode explains Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV), a technology that allows a physical network interface card to be shared directly with multiple virtual machines, bypassing the hypervisor for improved performance. We cover how SR-IOV reduces CPU overhead, improves throughput, and minimizes latency for high-demand workloads.

We also look at hardware and driver requirements, configuration steps, and security considerations such as isolation between virtual functions. For the Cloud+ exam, knowing how SR-IOV benefits specific workloads and its prerequisites is key for performance optimization questions.
