Cloud Technologies and Data Integration Flashcards
CompTIA DataSys+ DS0-001 Flashcards
| Front | Back |
| What are cloud-native applications | Applications specifically designed to run and scale optimally in cloud environments utilizing its features |
| What are identity and access management (IAM) solutions in cloud computing | Systems used to control and monitor access to cloud resources and protect sensitive data |
| What are microservices | An architecture that breaks an application into small, independent services that communicate with each other |
| What are the three main types of cloud service models | Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS) |
| What does scalability mean in cloud computing | The ability of a system to handle increased demand by adding resources |
| What does vendor lock-in mean in cloud computing | A situation where a customer is dependent on a single cloud provider and cannot easily switch to another due to proprietary services or data migration challenges |
| What is a cloud access security broker (CASB) | A security solution that acts as an intermediary between cloud users and service providers to enforce security policies |
| What is a cloud cost management strategy | The processes and tools used to monitor and optimize the cost of using cloud resources |
| What is a cloud-based data pipeline | A series of automated processes for moving and transforming data in the cloud from source to destination |
| What is a Content Delivery Network (CDN) | A network of servers that delivers cached content from the cloud to users based on their geographic location |
| What is a data fabric in data integration | An architecture and set of technologies that provide consistent access and integration across a variety of data sources |
| What is a data integration hub | A centralized platform that facilitates data sharing and synchronization between multiple systems and applications |
| What is a data lake | A centralized repository for storing raw and unstructured data at scale |
| What is a data warehouse | A structured storage system optimized for querying and analyzing stored data |
| What is a NoSQL database | A type of database designed to handle unstructured or semi-structured data, often used in cloud environments |
| What is a Service Level Agreement (SLA) in cloud computing | A contract that defines the expected service performance, availability, and responsibilities between a cloud provider and consumer |
| What is a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) | A private cloud environment within a public cloud, providing isolated resources for a specific user |
| What is an API | An Application Programming Interface that allows applications to communicate and share data |
| What is an orchestration tool in cloud computing | Software that automates the management, coordination, and configuration of cloud resources |
| What is cloud bursting | A hybrid cloud deployment where an application runs in a private cloud but temporarily uses public cloud resources during peak demand |
| What is cloud computing | The delivery of computing services over the internet including storage, databases, servers, and more |
| What is cloud data integration | The process of combining data from multiple sources into a unified view within the cloud |
| What is cloud elasticity | The ability of a cloud system to automatically scale resources up or down based on demand |
| What is cloud security | The set of policies and technologies designed to protect cloud data and applications from threats |
| What is containerization in cloud computing | A method of packaging an application and its dependencies together for consistent deployment across environments |
| What is data integration middleware | A software layer that connects different data sources, enabling integration and communication between them |
| What is data replication in cloud computing | The process of storing data copies in different locations to ensure availability and fault tolerance |
| What is disaster recovery in cloud computing | A set of policies and procedures to restore data and applications in case of a cloud failure or disaster |
| What is edge computing | Processing data closer to where it is generated, reducing latency and increasing speed |
| What is ETL in data integration | Extract, Transform, Load – a process for migrating and transforming data between systems |
| What is event-driven architecture | A software design paradigm where actions are triggered by events, often used for real-time data processing in the cloud |
| What is horizontal scaling in cloud computing | Adding more resources or servers to distribute workloads and increase capacity |
| What is hybrid cloud | A combination of public and private clouds allowing for data integration between environments |
| What is IaaS | Infrastructure as a Service, providing virtualized computing resources over the internet |
| What is infrastructure as code (IaC) | The practice of managing and provisioning computing infrastructure through machine-readable configuration files instead of manual processes |
| What is Kubernetes | An open-source platform for managing containerized applications and automating deployment, scaling, and operations |
| What is latency in cloud computing | The time it takes for a data packet to travel from the source to the destination in a network or system |
| What is Multi-Cloud Strategy | Using multiple cloud providers to leverage their respective strengths and prevent vendor lock-in |
| What is redundant data storage in cloud systems | Storing multiple copies of data across various locations to ensure reliability and availability |
| What is SaaS | Software as a Service, delivering applications over the internet without requiring local installation |
| What is serverless computing | A cloud computing model where the cloud provider dynamically manages the server allocation and scaling |
| What is the difference between public and private clouds | Public clouds are shared and managed by external providers, while private clouds are dedicated to a single organization |
| What is the principle of least privilege in cloud security | Granting users and services only the permissions they need to perform their tasks to minimize security risks |
| What is the role of middleware in data integration | Middleware connects systems, applications, and data to enable seamless communication |
| What is vertical scaling in cloud computing | Increasing the capacity of an individual server or resource to handle higher workloads |
This deck outlines concepts related to cloud-based data storage, cloud computing, and integrating data sources across platforms.
