ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

A cloud provider runs an OpenStack environment on a fleet of KVM hypervisors. The operations team must meet these service requirements:

  • A failed compute host has to be redeployed, including all hypervisor and virtual network settings, within 30 minutes.
  • Tenant virtual machines must be protected with crash-consistent backups by default and support application-consistent snapshots, all without installing backup agents inside the guests. Which approach BEST satisfies both host and guest operating-system backup and restore requirements while keeping day-to-day administration effort low?
  • PXE booting compute nodes and applying automated configuration-management playbooks, while using hypervisor-level quiesced snapshots replicated to object storage for VM protection

  • RAID-1 mirroring of each host's system disk for redundancy and continuous data protection agents deployed inside all tenant VMs

  • Nightly file-level backups of /etc on each hypervisor combined with tenant-installed backup agents inside every VM

  • Guest-side scripts that copy critical files to a shared NFS location and manual hypervisor rebuilds from installation media after failures
