Cloud Architecture Best Practices Flashcards
| Front | Back |
| How can disaster recovery be ensured in cloud design | Use backups, replication, and failover strategies across geographically distributed regions |
| How can microservices architecture benefit cloud systems | Facilitates scalable, independent development and deployment of services |
| How does auto-scaling improve reliability | Automatically adjusts resources to match demand and prevents service interruptions |
| How does caching improve application performance | Stores frequently accessed data for faster retrieval and reduced database strain |
| How does redundancy improve system reliability | Provides backup systems to maintain availability during failure scenarios |
| What is a multi-AZ deployment | Distributing resources across multiple Availability Zones for higher fault tolerance |
| What is cost optimization in cloud design | Implementing practices to minimize expenses while maintaining efficiency |
| What is scalability in cloud architecture | The ability to handle increasing workloads by adding resources dynamically |
| What is the advantage of stateless applications in the cloud | Simplifies scaling and recovery since no session data is stored locally |
| What is the benefit of using decoupled components | Reduces dependencies and allows individual parts to scale independently |
| What is the importance of monitoring and observability | Provides real-time insights to detect issues and maintain performance |
| What is the principle of "design for failure" | Build systems that can recover automatically from failures |
| What is the purpose of health checks in cloud systems | Monitors the status of resources and reroutes traffic from unhealthy components |
| What is the role of a Content Delivery Network (CDN) in cloud architecture | Speeds data delivery to users by caching content at edge locations |
| What is the shared responsibility model in cloud computing | Cloud provider manages infrastructure, while customers handle application security |
| What is the significance of choosing the right storage class | Optimizes cost and performance based on data access patterns |
| Why is load balancing important in cloud architecture | Distributes incoming traffic across multiple resources to prevent overload |
| Why should data be encrypted in transit and at rest | Protects sensitive information against unauthorized access |
| Why should you use infrastructure as code (IaC) | Enables automated and consistent provisioning using scripts |
| Why should you use managed services in cloud architecture | Reduces operational overhead for maintenance tasks |
