Question 1

Cloud computing delivers computing services ___________ on-premise computing.

Accepted Answer

Cloud computing delivers computing services faster than on-premise computing as it does not require physical hardware setup, maintenance, and upgrades. Cloud providers already have the infrastructure in place and users can simply access it remotely. This allows for a quicker setup and a more scalable solution.

Question 2

Which of the following is a benefit of cloud computing?

Accepted Answer

Productivity - Cloud computing allows users to access applications and data from anywhere with an internet connection, which can improve productivity.

Question 3

_____________________________ is a service that delivers hardware networking capabilities, including the use of servers, networking, and storage over the cloud using a pay-per-use revenue model.

Accepted Answer

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) is the service that delivers hardware networking capabilities over the cloud using a pay-per-use revenue model. DaaS (Desktop-as-a-Service) delivers virtual desktop infrastructure over the internet, PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) delivers a platform for developing, running and managing applications, and SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) delivers software applications over the internet.

Question 4

Cloud computing can enable companies to collect massive amounts of data and then use sophisticated algorithms to make sense of that data to create better products and services.This characterizes which of the following benefits of cloud computing?

Accepted Answer

Cloud computing allows companies to store and process vast amounts of data, which can then be analyzed using advanced algorithms to extract valuable insights. This can help companies improve their products and services and make better business decisions.

Question 5

With _________, the customer manages applications and data while the vendor manages the operating system, servers, virtualization, storage, and networking.

Accepted Answer

PaaS (Platform as a Service) is a cloud computing model where the customer manages applications and data, while the vendor manages the operating system, servers, virtualization, storage, and networking.

Question 6

With _______________, the user has no control of software beyond user configuration.

Accepted Answer

SaaS, or Software-as-a-Service, refers to a cloud computing model where the software application is hosted by a third-party provider and made available to users over the internet. With SaaS, the user has no control over the underlying software beyond user configuration.

Question 7

IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS shift IT from a(n)_________________ expense, which means IT is ____________ cost.

Accepted Answer

IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS shift IT from a capital expense to an operating expense, which means IT is a variable cost rather than a fixed cost. This is because the costs are based on usage and can vary depending on how much the service is utilized.

Question 8

Cloud computing can enable companies to shift from capital expenses to operational expenses.This characterizes which of the following benefits of cloud computing?

Accepted Answer

Cloud computing allows businesses to reduce their costs by not having to invest in expensive hardware and infrastructure upfront. Instead, they can pay for only the resources they use on a monthly or yearly basis, making it an operational expense.

Question 9

_____________________ allows customers to both run existing applications and to develop and test new applications.

Accepted Answer

PaaS (Platform as a Service) provides customers with a platform to develop, run, and manage applications without the complexity of building and maintaining the infrastructure typically associated with developing and launching an app. It offers customers both the ability to run existing applications and to develop and test new applications.

Question 10

Vertical clouds are similar to ___________.

Accepted Answer

Vertical clouds are similar to extranets, which are networks that allow controlled access to an organization's internal systems and data to authorized external users.

Question 11

If your IT department doesn't want to move to cloud computing because they don't want to learn how to manage and maintain a new system, this reflects the following cloud computing concern:

Accepted Answer

This concern relates to legacy IT systems as IT departments may resist change due to the need to learn new skills and processes. Moving to cloud computing may require significant changes in the IT infrastructure and operations, which may be daunting for IT professionals who are accustomed to legacy systems.

Question 12

Which of the following is NOT a reason cloud computing has a positive impact on employees?

Accepted Answer

Cloud computing may offer benefits such as flexibility, accessibility, and increased productivity, but it doesn't necessarily save employees money by allowing them to do everything on a single device. In fact, some cloud-based services may incur additional costs, such as subscription fees or data usage charges.

Question 13

With ____________, the customer manages applications, data, and the operating system while the vendor manages the servers, virtualization, storage, and networking.

Accepted Answer

In Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), the customer is responsible for managing applications, data, and the operating system, while the vendor manages the underlying infrastructure, including servers, virtualization, storage, and networking.

Question 14

Unlike private clouds, public clouds have a problem with ________.

Accepted Answer

Public clouds often face privacy concerns because data is stored on shared infrastructure, which can lead to potential exposure or unauthorized access.

Question 15

With _________, the vendor manages the applications and data.

Accepted Answer

SaaS (Software as a Service) is a cloud computing model in which the vendor manages the applications and data, providing them to customers over the internet. Customers access the software through a web browser or application, and the vendor is responsible for maintaining and updating the software.

Question 16

With ____________, the customer manages the operating system.

Accepted Answer

IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) allows the customer to manage the operating system, giving them control over the infrastructure layer of the cloud. DaaS (Desktop as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and SaaS (Software as a Service) do not offer this level of control.

Question 17

When a site like Google Docs becomes unavailable for any period of time, this fuels the cloud computing concern of ________.

Accepted Answer

If a cloud computing service like Google Docs becomes unavailable, it raises concerns about the reliability of the service. Cloud computing relies heavily on the availability and uptime of the services. When there is downtime, it can impact users' ability to access their data and perform necessary tasks.

Question 18

Scalability benefits organizations by ______________.

Accepted Answer

Improving organizational flexibility allows organizations to adapt to changing market conditions and customer demands more quickly and efficiently.

Question 19

______________ clouds are the most secure because they can be placed behind an organization's firewall.

Accepted Answer

Private clouds are deployed within an organization's own data center or leased data center space and are behind the organization's firewall. This provides a higher level of security compared to public clouds which are accessible via the internet. Hybrid clouds combine both private and public clouds, and vertical clouds are designed for a specific industry vertical, thus not relevant in this context.

Question 20

Moving legacy systems to the cloud is difficult. Which of the following does NOT explain this phenomenon?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Moving legacy systems to the cloud is...
