1.Question 1
In the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) definition of “cloud computing”,
what does the statement “shared pool of configurable computing resources” include?

1 / 1 point

Data security, associated with loss or unavailability of data causing business disruption

Leverage cloud services over the open internet on hardware owned by the cloud provider

Networks, servers, storage, applications, and services

Five essential characteristics, three deployment models, three service models

Correct
These are all recognized as computing resources that can be configured as needed and shared.

2.Question 2
What tasks do hypervisors accomplish? Select two.

1 / 1 point

Separates VMs logically and assigns each a share of the underlying computing power, memory, and
storage.
Correct
Hypervisors also separate virtual machines logically, assigning each its ow slice of the underlying
computing power, memory and storage, preventing the virtual machines from interfering with each
other.

Enable multiple operating systems to run alongside each other, sharing the same physical
computing resources.

Correct
A hypervisor is a small software layer that enables multiple operating systems to run alongside each
other, sharing the same physical computing resources.

Facilitate access to mainframes for multiple users to access the same data storage layer.

Scale on demand to support fluctuating workloads.

3.Question 3
What are some of the cloud benefits that make it lower-risk for enterprises to adopt cloud? Select
two.

1 / 1 point

The speed with which applications can be up and running on the cloud versus months on traditional
platforms, means enterprises can experiment, fail fast, learn, and course correct without setting them
back significantly.

Correct
The speed and productivity provided by the cloud make cloud adoption lower-risk for enterprises.

Data security associated with loss or unavailability of data causing business disruption

The pay-as-you-go model allows enterprises to experiment with technologies as opposed to making
long-term decisions based on little or no trial.

Correct
Renting by the hour as opposed to the huge upfront cost of investing and re-investing in hardware
and software makes cloud adoption a low-risk option for enterprises.

Diversity of standardization in how the constantly evolving technologies integrate and interoperate.

4.Question 4
Which of these are full-service cloud platforms?

A. IBM Cloud

B. Amazon Web Services

C. Google Cloud Platform

D. Microsoft Azure

1 / 1 point

A, B, and C only

A, B, C, and D

A only

A and B only

Correct
IBM, AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure—all provide full-service cloud offerings.

5.Question 5
An IBM Institute for Business Value study says that more than three-quarters of enterprises today
are using cloud computing to expand into new industries. What additional benefits do organizations
find when adopting the cloud:

1 / 1 point

Improve customer experience and create enhanced products and services

Avoid having to fail at all

Continue making expensive decisions because it often worked in the past

Lengthen product lifecycles to ensure higher quality offerings

Correct
Cloud enables businesses to respond quickly to marketplace changes, use analytics to understand
customer experience, and to apply that understanding to adapt their products and service from what
they learn.

6.Question 6
What are some of the results companies like Bitly, American Airlines, UBank, and ActivTrades
achieve with cloud adoption?

A. Better customer service

B. Remove barriers to innovation

C. Demand for enterprise scale

D. Accelerating growth

0 / 1 point

A and B only

C and D only

A, B, C, and D

B and D only

Incorrect
UBank and ActivTrades leveraged the cloud to remove barriers to innovation and accelerating
growth respectively.

7.Question 7
IoT, AI, Blockchain, and Analytics are emerging technologies enabled by the cloud. What are some
of the attributes of cloud computing that enable these technologies? Select two.

0 / 1 point

Cloud resources are offered in a single-tenant model

Computing resources can be accessed via internet connection

This should not be selected

While internet access does enable ease of access, however, that is not an attribute that is unique to
cloud resources.

The power and scale of cloud resources

Cloud offers on-demand computing

Correct
Cloud resources scale up and down in response to the workload demand, with users paying only for
resources that they use. This makes it cost-viable for organizations to leverage emerging
technologies on the cloud.

8.Question 8
What is the three-way symbiotic relationship between IoT, AI, and Cloud?

0 / 1 point

Making sense of the endless streams of data from IoT devices

AI consumes the data produced by IoT devices

IoT delivers the data, AI powers the insights, and both emerging technologies leverage cloud's
scalability and processing power

Power, scale, dynamic nature, and economics of the cloud resources

Incorrect
This is one part of the three-way relationship between AI, IoT, and Cloud.

9.Question 9
What is the three-way relationship between blockchain, AI, and the Cloud?

1 / 1 point

Blockchain provides the trusted, decentralized source of truth, AI powers the analytics and decisions
made from the collected data, and cloud provides the globally distributed, scalable, and cost-efficient
computing resources to support both technologies.

Lends trust and transparency to AI by recording the data and variables that go into a decision made
in an AI algorithm.

Globally distributed, scalable, and cost-efficient computing resources.

Blockchain provides an immutable network allowing members to view only those transactions that
are relevant to them.

Correct
This is the mutually beneficial, three-way relationship between Blockchain, AI, and Cloud.

10.Question 10
Which of these are essential characteristics of the Cloud? Select two.

1 / 1 point

Resource pooling

Correct
Cloud resources are dynamically assigned and reassigned, according to demand, without
consumers needing to concern themselves with the physical location of these resources.

On-demand self-service

Correct
Users can access cloud resources such as the processing power, storage, and network using a
simple interface, without requiring human interaction with each service provider.
