disaster recovery, data protection, and business continuity Providing an opportunity to modernize and unify in-house and legacy
applications. Integrating data and application services from existing application.
Which of the following describes a use case for the private cloud? Providing an opportunity to modernize and unify an organization’s in-house and legacy applications. Creating richer and more personal experiences by combining new data
sources Taking advantage of the resilience and business continuity of the
provider. Lifting and shifting their on-premises virtualized workloads. .
A virtualized, multi-tenant architecture enabling tenants or users to share
computing resources residing outside their firewalls best describes a
characteristic for which cloud type? Private cloud Hybrid cloud Public cloud.
Which of the following is considered a use case for a public cloud? Using the flexibility to build applications anywhere and move them anywhere
without having to compromise security and compliance in the process. “Lifting and Shifting” an organization’s on-premises virtualized workloads without
conversion or modification to reduce their on-premises data center footprint and
position themselves to scale without added capital expense. Increasingly opting to access cloud-based applications and platforms so an
organization’s teams can focus on building and testing applications and platforms,
thus reducing time-to-market for their products and services. Upgrading the user experience of the on-premises applications and deploying them
globally to new devices while incrementally modernizing core business systems. .
Which one of the following layers is considered the foundation of the cloud? Control layer Orchestration layer Infrastructure layer Application layer.
Which of the following is known as distinct data centers with their own power,
cooling, and networking resources? Zones Regions Domains Locals.
Which of the following are characteristics of a region? Identify all that apply. Has a name such as NA South or US East. Is isolated from other regions, so if one was impacted by a natural
disaster, the cloud operations in others would continue to function. The cloud’s overall fault tolerance decreases latency and avoids creating
a single shared point of failure. A geographic area or location where a cloud provider’s infrastructure is
clustered.
Which one of the following is a characteristic of both a bare metal
server and a virtual server? Commonly used in traditional data centers, but often struggle with scale. Provisioned with default storage in local drives. Used to enhance the functionality and management of web pages. Enable users to request information from applications.
What is the function of a hypervisor? Used to connect availability zones and regions. Distributes content to multiple points throughout the world so users can
access. Pulls resources from the physical server and allocate them to a virtual
environment. An executable unit of software in which application code is packaged.
What is another name given to a Type 2 hypervisor? Bare metal Single tenant Dynamic LPAR Hosted.
Virtual servers and virtual instances are two terms used synonymously in the
IBM Cloud with which of the following? Virtual machines Virtual service Virtual platform Virtual resources.
What type of server satisfies workload examples such as ERP, CRM, AI,
deep learning and virtualization? dBase Bare metal Virtual machine LPAR.
VMware, ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-v, and open-source KVM are some examples
of which Type of hypervisor? 1 2 3 4.
Which of the following is added to the network to enable users’ access to the
application in the internet tier? IP address Public gateway Private gateway Cloud network.
What is the main difference between deploying a network in an on-premises
data center and deploying a cloud network? Peripheral devices Material devices Physical devices Standard devices.
Portability, scalability, streamlined development and deployment of cloud-native applications and architectures are some of the advantages of which
one of the following components? Networks Storage Servers Containers.
Direct attached, file, block, and object are considered which one of the
following? Types of containers Types of networks Types of tiers Types of cloud storage.
Which type of storage is also referred to network attached storage, network file
storage, or simply NFS? Direct attached File Block Object.
Poor performance when data needs to be shared is considered a disadvantage
of which of the following types of storage? Direct attached Object Block File .
Highly available and resilient and will often include data encryption at rest
and in transit are characteristics attached to what type of storage? Direct attached File Block Object.
Which type of storage is accessed via an application program interface (API)
and is not attached to a compute node? Direct attached File Block Object.
Which one of the following describes a characteristic of object storage? Provisioned in volumes which can then be mounted onto a compute
node. A great repository for all sorts of unstructured data types. Storage is fast and normally used to store a server’s operating system. Involves less disk management and maintenance.
Which one of the following describes a characteristic of direct attached
storage? Offers infinite capacity as you can keep adding files to it. The operating system only last as long as the compute resource is
attached to it. Is typically provisioned in volumes. Is mounted to compute nodes via an ethernet network.
What is the purpose of a content delivery network (CDN)? To accelerate read and write speeds. To protect content delivered over a network. To make websites faster and more responsive. To safeguard backup and disaster recovery.
Which of the following describes the type of cloud that leverages the best of
the cloud models and services across different providers and where
applications and workloads work seamlessly across multiple different cloud
types? Private cloud Hybrid cloud Public cloud Hybrid multicloud.
Which of the following is described as an approach in which a single
application is composed of many loosely coupled and independently
deployable smaller components or services? Application modernization Hybrid multicloud Microservices architecture Virtualization.
IBM Cloud Functions is a Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) programming
platform used for developing lightweight code that scalably executes on
demand. What open source serverless platform is it based on? Microsoft Azure AWS Lamb-da Terraform Apache OpenWhisk.
Which of the following best describes serverless computing? Serverless computing means there are no physical servers utilized. Serverless computing is a cloud computing execution model that
provisions computing resources on demand and offloads all
responsibility for common infrastructure management tasks to a
cloud provider. Serverless is an approach to computing that offloads responsibility
for common infrastructure management tasks such as scaling,
scheduling, patching, and provisioning to a company’s IT team. Serverless computing is a model where the existence of servers
becomes abstracted and without function.
