Part 3: Cloud Deployment Models

7. What is a Public Cloud?

• • • A) A cloud environment operated solely for a single organization

7. 7. • B) A cloud environment available for multiple organizations

7. 7. • C) A cloud service that is accessible to the general public

7. 7. • D) A cloud environment managed privately within a company

Answer: C) A cloud service that is accessible to the general public

Explanation: Public clouds are operated by third-party cloud service providers and delivered over the internet, making them accessible to anyone who wishes to use or purchase them.

8. Which cloud deployment model offers the highest level of control and security?

7. 7. • A) Public Cloud

7. 7. • B) Private Cloud

7. 7. • C) Hybrid Cloud

7. 7. • D) Community Cloud

Answer: B) Private Cloud

Explanation: Private clouds are dedicated to a single organization, providing a high level of control, security, and customization.

9. What is a Hybrid Cloud?

7. 7. • A) A combination of two public clouds

7. 7. • B) A mixture of on-premises, private cloud, and public cloud services

7. 7. • C) A cloud model exclusive to government organizations

7. 7. • D) A cloud solution that only uses virtual private networks (VPNs)

Answer: B) A mixture of on-premises, private cloud, and public cloud services

Explanation: Hybrid cloud solutions integrate private cloud and public cloud resources, allowing data and applications to be shared between them.

Part 4: Advanced Cloud Concepts

10. What is serverless computing?

10. 10. • A) Computing with no servers involved

10. 10. • B) A cloud model where the cloud provider manages the infrastructure and automatically handles the scaling of resources

10. 10. • C) A type of cloud storage solution

10. 10. • D) An outdated cloud technology

Answer: B) A cloud model where the cloud provider manages the infrastructure and automatically handles the scaling of resources

Explanation: Serverless computing allows developers to build and run applications without having to manage the underlying infrastructure, as the cloud provider handles provisioning, scaling, and management.

11. What is Kubernetes?

10. 10. • A) A programming language for cloud development

10. 10. • B) An open-source platform for managing containerized workloads and services

10. 10. • C) A cloud storage solution

10. 10. • D) A type of cloud database

Answer: B) An open-source platform for managing containerized workloads and services

Explanation: Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

12. Which of the following is NOT a benefit of using microservices architecture?

10. 10. • A) Improved scalability

10. 10. • B) Enhanced fault isolation

10. 10. • C) Simpler management of the entire application

10. 10. • D) Faster time to market

Answer: C) Simpler management of the entire application

Explanation: While microservices offer improved scalability, fault isolation, and faster time to market, managing a large number of microservices can be complex and requires effective orchestration.

Part 5: Cloud Security and Best Practices

13. Which of the following is a key principle of cloud security?

13. 13. • A) Encrypting data at rest and in transit

13. 13. • B) Allowing unrestricted access to resources

13. 13. • C) Disabling multi-factor authentication

13. 13. • D) Ignoring compliance regulations

Answer: A) Encrypting data at rest and in transit

Explanation: Encrypting data at rest and in transit is crucial to protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access and ensuring data security in the cloud.

14. What does the principle of least privilege mean in cloud security?

13. 13. • A) Granting users access to all resources

13. 13. • B) Granting users the minimal level of access required to perform their tasks

13. 13. • C) Disabling access controls

13. 13. • D) Using a single user account for all tasks

Answer: B) Granting users the minimal level of access required to perform their tasks

Explanation: The principle of least privilege ensures that users have only the access necessary to perform their job functions, minimizing the potential impact of security breaches.

15. Which of the following is NOT a recommended cloud security practice?

13. 13. • A) Regularly updating and patching systems

13. 13. • B) Implementing strong password policies

13. 13. • C) Storing all data in a single, unencrypted repository

13. 13. • D) Conducting regular security audits

Answer: C) Storing all data in a single, unencrypted repository

Explanation: Storing data in a single, unencrypted repository is a security risk. It’s important to encrypt data and distribute it across secure, redundant locations.
