CompTIA CloudNetX CNX-001 Flashcards

Front	Back
How can tagging cloud resources assist in monitoring and maintenance	By organizing and categorizing resources for easier management and cost tracking.
Name a tool frequently used for automating tasks in cloud management	Terraform.
Name a widely used logging service in AWS	Amazon CloudWatch Logs.
Name an example of serverless monitoring	Tracking the execution times and errors of AWS Lambda functions.
What are audit logs typically used for in cloud environments	Tracking user activities, access, and changes for security and compliance.
What does Availability Monitoring ensure in a cloud system	That services and applications remain operational and accessible to users.
What does horizontal scaling involve in a cloud environment	Adding more instances to distribute the workload.
What does logging provide in the context of cloud maintenance	A record of events and activities that can help in troubleshooting and auditing.
What does synthetic monitoring simulate	User interactions with applications to proactively test performance.
What does the term "observability" mean in cloud monitoring	The ability to understand the behavior and state of a system based on its outputs.
What does vertical scaling involve in a cloud environment	Increasing the resources in a single instance, like adding CPU or memory.
What is a cloud maintenance best practice for keeping systems updated	Regularly applying patches and updates to cloud resources.
What is a key benefit of using automated monitoring tools in the cloud	Proactive identification and resolution of issues before they impact users.
What is a service-level agreement (SLA) in cloud monitoring	A contract that defines uptime and performance expectations between a provider and a customer.
What is cloud monitoring	The process of overseeing, analyzing, and managing the performance, health, and security of cloud resources and services.
What is meant by "cost-awareness" in cloud monitoring	Tracking resource usage to optimize spend and prevent unexpected charges.
What is the benefit of centralized logging in distributed cloud environments	Easier analysis and troubleshooting across multiple systems.
What is the Function of "thresholds" in monitoring alerts	To define specific values at which alerts should be triggered.
What is the primary use of alerts in cloud monitoring	Notifying administrators of potential issues or thresholds being exceeded.
What is the purpose of a cloud monitoring dashboard	To provide real-time visibility into the status and performance of cloud systems.
What is the purpose of anomaly detection in cloud monitoring	To identify unusual or unexpected patterns in system performance or usage.
What is the significance of real-time monitoring in dynamic cloud environments	Ensures immediate response to incidents and minimizes potential impacts.
What kind of data do performance metrics typically include	CPU usage, memory usage, disk I/O, and network traffic.
What role does machine learning play in cloud monitoring	Automating the detection of performance issues and forecasting future needs.
Which cloud monitoring tool is commonly used with Microsoft's Azure cloud services	Azure Monitor.
Which metric often indicates cloud system performance issues	Latency.
Why is data retention policy important for cloud logs	To balance storage costs and the need for historical data analysis.
Why is scalability monitoring important in cloud environments	To ensure cloud resources can handle increased demand without performance degradation.
Why is uptime monitoring critical in cloud maintenance	To ensure services meet SLA commitments and minimize downtime.
