Cloud Concepts and Architecture (CCSP) Flashcards
ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Flashcards
| Front | Back |
| Define availability in cloud computing | Availability is the ability to ensure services and data are accessible when needed, minimizing downtime. |
| Define Disaster Recovery (DR) in cloud computing | Disaster Recovery involves strategies and tools to recover IT systems and data after a disruption. |
| Define identity and access management (IAM) in cloud computing | IAM involves technologies and policies to manage user identities and control access to cloud resources. |
| Define Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) | IaaS provides virtualized computing resources like servers, storage, and networking. |
| Define Platform as a Service (PaaS) | PaaS provides a platform and environment to develop, deploy, and manage applications without managing underlying infrastructure. |
| Define Software as a Service (SaaS) | SaaS provides software applications over the internet, accessible by users through a web browser. |
| What are the deployment models of cloud computing | Public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, and community cloud. |
| What are the five essential characteristics of cloud as per NIST | On-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and measured service. |
| What are the three types of cloud service models | Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). |
| What characterizes a community cloud deployment | Community clouds are shared by organizations with similar requirements, often managed collaboratively. |
| What characterizes a hybrid cloud deployment | Hybrid clouds combine public and private clouds, enabling data and application sharing between them. |
| What characterizes a private cloud deployment | Private clouds are dedicated to a single organization, offering more control and security. |
| What characterizes a public cloud deployment | Public clouds are hosted by third-party providers and shared across multiple organizations over the internet. |
| What is a virtual private network (VPN) in cloud computing | A VPN establishes a secure pathway for connecting remote users to cloud resources over an encrypted connection. |
| What is cloud automation | Cloud automation employs tools and scripts to execute tasks like provisioning, scaling, and monitoring in cloud environments. |
| What is cloud computing | Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services over the internet including storage, processing, and software. |
| What is cloud data segregation | Cloud data segregation ensures logical separation of each organization's data to prevent interference or unauthorized access. |
| What is cloud elasticity | Cloud elasticity refers to the ability to dynamically scale resources up or down based on demand. |
| What is cloud governance | Cloud governance involves managing and overseeing processes and policies required for safe and efficient cloud service use. |
| What is cloud orchestration | Cloud orchestration automates workflows and processes to streamline the management of cloud resources. |
| What is cloud provider accountability for security | Providers are responsible for the infrastructure security and ensuring standard operational practices. |
| What is cloud scalability | Cloud scalability refers to the ability of a cloud system to handle increased workload or grow by adding resources. |
| What is cloud-based scalability | Cloud-based scalability allows dynamic adjustments to resources to meet organizational demands while maintaining system performance. |
| What is customer accountability for security | Customers are responsible for securing data, applications, and user access. |
| What is high availability in cloud ecosystems | High availability ensures continuous service with minimal downtime using redundancies and failover mechanisms. |
| What is serverless computing | Serverless computing allows users to run applications without managing underlying server infrastructure, typically billed per execution. |
| What is service-level agreement (SLA) in cloud contracts | Service-level agreements define the expected service performance, availability, and responsibilities between a customer and provider. |
| What is the concept of measured service in cloud computing | Measured service ensures resource use is monitored, controlled, and billed based on consumption levels. |
| What is the essential characteristic of resource pooling in cloud computing | Resource pooling allows providers to serve multiple customers using a multi-tenant model with dynamically allocated resources. |
| What is the importance of data encryption in the cloud | Data encryption protects confidentiality and prevents unauthorized access during data transit and storage. |
| What is the role of multi-tenancy in cloud computing | Multi-tenancy enables multiple customers to share computing resources in isolation while reducing costs. |
| What is the Shared Responsibility Model in cloud computing | The Shared Responsibility Model defines security responsibilities between the cloud provider and the customer. |
| What is virtualization in cloud computing | Virtualization is the creation of virtual resources like servers or operating systems to optimize hardware utilization. |
This deck covers the foundational cloud computing concepts and architectural design principles necessary for the CCSP exam.
