What does the term 'Resource Management' refer to in vSphere?

The term 'Resource Management' in vSphere specifically pertains to the effective allocation of CPU and memory resources among virtual machines (VMs). This involves using various vSphere features and settings to ensure that each VM receives the appropriate amount of resources it needs to operate efficiently according to its workload requirements. Proper resource management helps in optimizing performance, preventing resource contention, and maintaining service levels across all VMs in a cluster.

Options related to monitoring VM uptime, tracking license utilization, and managing network traffic, despite being important aspects of virtualization management, do not encompass the core idea of resource management. These tasks focus on different areas of monitoring and control within a virtualized environment rather than the direct allocation and distribution of processing and memory resources which is the central theme of resource management in vSphere.
