Question 2 of 15

A cloud administrator is tasked with configuring a group of VMs that handle sensitive data processing. These VMs must be isolated due to compliance requirements and should not share hardware resources with other VMs processing less sensitive data. To maintain compliance, which type of affinity rule should the administrator implement?

  • VM-Host Anti-Affinity

  • Host-Host Affinity

  • VM-Host Affinity

  • VM-VM Anti-Affinity

Question 3 of 15

Your company has recently migrated to a cloud-based infrastructure and you are tasked with ensuring that the email system integrates seamlessly with existing cloud services. In addition to basic messaging, the requirement includes coordinating with calendar services and contact management provided by another cloud service provider. Which of the following solutions will BEST meet these requirements?

  • Deploying an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) with a built-in email server

  • Using a Platform as a Service (PaaS) to host the email service

  • Developing a Custom Email API to interface with existing cloud services

  • Software as a Service (SaaS) for email

  • Implementing an SMTP Relay service

Question 4 of 15

A cloud administrator is tasked with selecting a security tool for monitoring network traffic and protecting against malware in a cloud environment. However, the administrator must ensure that the deployment of this tool has a minimal impact on system performance. Which of the following would be the BEST option to use?

  • Agent-based intrusion detection system (IDS)

  • Network-based intrusion detection system (IDS)

  • Port scanner

  • Vulnerability scanner

Question 5 of 15

An organization is scaling up its cloud infrastructure to support increased web traffic demand. As part of the security team, you need to identify a solution that will provide visibility into the patterns of network traffic to and from your cloud services. Which tool should you implement to analyze network flows and ensure the integrity of data traffic?

  • Virtual Private Network (VPN) infrastructure

  • Network Intrusion Detection System (IDS)

  • Log management system

  • Network Access Control (NAC) system

Question 6 of 15

A company wants to optimize their cloud architecture for a high-volume, event-driven application that needs to process thousands of requests per second while keeping infrastructure management to a minimum. Which of the following solutions should they implement to meet these requirements most effectively?

  • Set up multiple virtual machines with auto-scaling groups

  • Host the application on a container orchestration platform with manual scaling

  • Deploy the application using serverless computing functions

  • Use a Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering with pre-defined compute resources

Question 7 of 15

Which term best describes the practice of managing and provisioning computing infrastructure through machine-readable definition files, rather than physical hardware configuration or interactive configuration tools?

  • Platform as a Service

  • Hardware Abstraction Layer

  • Software Defined Networking

  • Infrastructure as Code

Question 8 of 15

What distinguishes a multicloud strategy from other cloud deployment models?

  • It solely relies on a private cloud infrastructure to deploy different applications.

  • It is only utilizing various services provided by a single public cloud provider.

  • It leverages multiple cloud services from different providers to meet specific business requirements.

  • It is a mix of on-premises, private cloud, and public cloud service from a single provider.
