Accepted Answer

The answer of A media company has made the decision...

Question 4

A cloud administrator has built a new private cloud environment and needs to monitor all computer, storage, and network components of the environment. Which of the following protocols would be MOST useful for this task?

Accepted Answer

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is designed for monitoring and managing network devices, making it the most suitable protocol for monitoring computer, storage, and network components in a cloud environment.

Question 5

A cloud administrator needs to implement a mechanism to monitor the expense of the company's cloud resources. Which of the following is the BEST option to execute this task with minimal effort?

Accepted Answer

Implementing a financial tool specifically designed for monitoring cloud resource expenses provides automated, comprehensive tracking and reporting with minimal manual effort.

Question 6

A systems administrator is troubleshooting performance issues with a Windows VDI environment. Users have reported that VDI performance has been slow since the images were upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. This VDI environment is used to run simple tasks, such as Microsoft Office. The administrator investigates the virtual machines and finds the following settings: 4 vCPU 16GB RAM 10Gb networking 256MB frame buffer Which of the following MOST likely needs to be upgraded?

Accepted Answer

The frame buffer (vGPU) is likely insufficient for Windows 10, which has higher graphical requirements than Windows 7, even for simple tasks. Upgrading the vGPU can improve performance.

Question 7

A cloud engineer is responsible for managing two cloud environments from different MSPs. The security department would like to inspect all traffic from the two cloud environments. Which of the following network topology solutions should the cloud engineer implement to reduce long-term maintenance?

Accepted Answer

The hub and spoke topology allows for centralized management and monitoring, which simplifies long-term maintenance by having a central point (hub) where all traffic can be inspected before reaching the spokes (cloud environments).

Question 8

The security team for a large corporation is investigating a data breach. The team members are all trying to do the same tasks but are interfering with each other's work. Which of the following did the team MOST likely forget to implement?

Accepted Answer

The team likely forgot to implement roles and responsibilities, which would help coordinate their efforts and prevent them from interfering with each other's work.

Question 9

Which of the following is relevant to capacity planning in a SaaS environment?

Accepted Answer

Scalability is crucial in a SaaS environment as it ensures the system can handle increased loads and user demands efficiently.

Question 10

A systems administrator needs to configure monitoring for a private cloud environment. The administrator has decided to use SNMP for this task. Which of the following ports should the administrator open on the monitoring server's firewall?

Accepted Answer

Port 161 is used for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), which is the protocol the administrator has chosen for monitoring.

Question 11

In an existing IaaS instance, it is required to deploy a single application that has different versions. Which of the following should be recommended to meet this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Containers allow multiple versions of an application to run simultaneously on the same infrastructure, providing isolation and efficient resource usage.

Question 12

A systems administrator needs to configure an email client to ensure data integrity of the email messages. Which of the following provides the BEST mechanism to achieve this goal?

Accepted Answer

The answer of A systems administrator needs to configure an...

Question 13

An organization is required to set a custom registry key on the guest operating system. Which of the following should the organization implement to facilitate this requirement?

Accepted Answer

A configuration management solution is designed to manage and automate the deployment and configuration of systems, including setting custom registry keys on operating systems.

Question 14

Which of the following strategies will mitigate the risk of a zero-day vulnerability MOST efficiently?

Accepted Answer

Having a detailed incident response plan is crucial for efficiently addressing zero-day vulnerabilities, as it allows an organization to quickly respond and mitigate the impact of such threats when they occur.

Question 15

A cloud administrator is setting up a DR site on a different zone of the same CSP. The application servers are replicated using the VM replication, and the database replication is set up using log shipping. Upon testing the DR site, the application servers are unable to access the database servers. The administrator has verified the systems are running and are accessible from the CSP portal. Which of the following should the administrator do to fix this issue?

Accepted Answer

The connection string likely needs to be updated to point to the correct database server at the DR site, ensuring the application servers can connect to the database.

Question 16

A SAN that holds VM files is running out of storage space. Which of the following will BEST increase the amount of effective storage on the SAN?

Accepted Answer

Deduplication reduces the amount of storage needed by eliminating duplicate copies of data, effectively increasing available storage space.

Question 17

A company developed a product using a cloud provider's PaaS platform and many of the platform-based components within the application environment. Which of the following would the company MOST likely be concerned about when utilizing a multicloud strategy or migrating to another cloud provider?

The answer of A company developed a product using a...

Question 18

A systems administrator is deploying a GPU-accelerated VDI solution. Upon requests from several users, the administrator installs an older version of the OS on their virtual workstations. The majority of the VMs run the latest LTS version of the OS. Which of the following types of drivers will MOST likely ensure compatibility will all virtual workstations?

Accepted Answer

The answer of A systems administrator is deploying a GPU-accelerated...

Question 19

A systems administrator is reviewing two CPU models for a cloud deployment. Both CPUs have the same number of cores/threads and run at the same clock speed. Which of the following will BEST identify the CPU with more computational power?
