During a planned upgrade, an administrator wants to produce a second copy of a virtual machine so the new copy can operate independently with distinct identity settings. Which method accomplishes this while preserving software installations and data?
Performing a clone duplicates the environment and allows a new identity to be assigned, including distinct system identifiers and network settings. A snapshot captures the system’s state but does not produce a self-contained copy. Disk imaging focuses on capturing a disk layout rather than assembling an independent instance. Host-level pass-through prioritizes hardware access rather than replicating a machine.
