Create a host pool where VMs can accumulate credits during low CPU usage and use them to exceed baseline performance during spikes. Which VM series supports this behavior?

Correct answer: B-series.
Why this is the answer
The B-series (Burstable) virtual machines are designed for workloads that do not require the full CPU performance continuously, such as development and test servers, small databases, and low-traffic web servers. They allow VMs to accumulate credits when running below their baseline CPU performance and then use these credits to burst above the baseline for a limited time when higher CPU utilization is needed. This makes them cost-effective for intermittent workloads. A-series VMs are entry-level and don't offer bursting. D-series VMs are general-purpose with consistent CPU performance but no bursting. H-series VMs are designed for high-performance computing (HPC) and also do not feature burstable CPU credits.
