The outputs of the old and new applications were compared side by side. Which of the following requirements did the testing plan confirm? (Select two.)

Accepted Answer

The testing plan confirmed performance by comparing outputs side by side to ensure the new application performs as expected. It also confirmed data integrity by ensuring the outputs of the new application matched those of the existing application.

Question 9

A technician receives a report of system utilization:  Which of the following additional resources should the technician add FIRST given the trend data shown above?

Accepted Answer

The answer of A technician receives a report of system...

Question 10

A company purchased a SaaS CRM application. The signed SLA meets year-round performance requirements. Three months after deployment, customers start reporting a slow application response time. System availability, connectivity, and proper functionality still meet the SLA. Which of the following is MOST likely the reason for the poor response time?

Accepted Answer

The answer of A company purchased a SaaS CRM application....

Question 11

A cloud administrator is looking at business requirements that specify the data available at the disaster recovery site must not be more than 24 hours old. Which of the following metrics correctly relates to these requirements?

Accepted Answer

RPO (Recovery Point Objective) specifies the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time, which in this case is 24 hours.

Question 12

A storage administrator must choose the best replication methodology for storage. The datacenters are on opposite sides of the country. The RPO is 24 hours. Replication and customer access use the same connections. Replication should not impact customer access during the day. Which of the following solutions would BEST meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Asynchronous replication is suitable for long distances and can be scheduled to occur during off-peak hours, ensuring that it does not impact customer access during the day. It also meets the RPO of 24 hours.

Question 13

Before doing a change on a VM, a systems administrator wants to ensure there is an easy and fast way to rollback if needed. The change and testing should take approximately two hours. Which of the following is the EASIEST way to meet this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Creating a snapshot on the hypervisor is the easiest and fastest way to rollback changes on a VM, as it captures the VM's state at a specific point in time and allows for quick restoration.

Question 14

A company has deployed a four-node cluster in a COLO environment with server configurations listed below. The company wants to ensure there is 50% overhead for failover and redundancy. There are currently eight VMs running within the cluster with four vCPUs x32GB each. The company wants to better utilize its resources within the cluster without compromising failover and redundancy.  Given the information above, which of the following should a cloud administrator do to BEST accommodate failover and redundancy requirements?

Accepted Answer

The answer of A company has deployed a four-node cluster...

Question 15

A cloud architect created a new delivery controller for a large VM farm to scale up according to organizational needs. The old and new delivery controllers now form a cluster. However, the new delivery controller returns an error when entering the license code. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause?

Accepted Answer

Can't be a firewall issue, or the old delivery controller would have a license error as well. Based on the information given, I would say they are not licensed for clustering.

Question 16

When designing a new private cloud platform, a cloud engineer wants to make sure the new hypervisor can be configured as fast as possible by cloning the OS from the other hypervisor. The engineer does not want to use local drives for the hypervisors. Which of the following storage types would BEST suit the engineer's needs?

Accepted Answer

A SAN (Storage Area Network) provides high-speed network access to storage, allowing for efficient cloning and management of OS images across multiple hypervisors without relying on local drives.

Question 17

A courier company has virtualized its packing software application. The CSA needs to confirm the deployment is utilizing the correct amount of CPU per virtual instance. After confirming the deployment requirements, the CSA should log into the cloud services portal to ensure that:

Accepted Answer

The CSA should ensure that the deployment is utilizing the recommended amount of CPUs per VM to meet the application's performance requirements.

Question 18

A cloud implementation engineer successfully created a new VM. However, the engineer notices the new VM is not accessible from another network. A ping test works from another VM on the same subnet. Which of the following is the MOST likely problem?

Accepted Answer

The answer of A cloud implementation engineer successfully created a...

Question 19

A new browser version has been deployed to all users at a company. After the deployment, users report that they can no longer access the company's secure time-card system, which is hosted by a SaaS provider. A technician investigates and discovers a security error is received upon opening the site. If the browser is rolled back to the older version, the site is accessible again. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the security error users are seeing?

Accepted Answer

The new browser version likely dropped support for obsolete security technologies (e.g., older SSL/TLS versions) that the SaaS servers still use, causing the security error.

Question 20

A new application with availability SLA requirements of 99.99% has been deployed in a cloud. For a test spanning a month, which of the following unavailability times would mean the test was successful? (Select TWO).

Accepted Answer

99.99% availability means that the application can be unavailable for a maximum of 0.01% of the time. In a month, this translates to 43.2 minutes. Therefore, unavailability times of 1 minute and 4 minutes would be within the SLA requirements.
