1.Question 1
Which of the following does NOT represent one of the three main Cloud Service Models referred to
in the course?

1 / 1 point

IaaS

PaaS

SaaS

CaaS

Correct
CaaS can refer to Communications-as-a-Service, Cloud-as-a-Service, or Computing-as-a-Service.
But it is not one of the three main Service Models for Cloud in this course.

2.Question 2
Which one of the provided options is true for Infrastructure-as-a-Service?

1 / 1 point

Cloud provider owns, manages, and maintains the physical resources

Cloud provider manages the physical resources, operating systems, development tools, databases,
and business analytics

Cloud provider manages the physical resources, the platform resources, applications, and data
Cloud provider configures the infrastructure which is managed and maintained by the user/customer
organization

Correct
In Infrastructure-as-a-Service, the cloud provider manages the data centers, cooling, power,
networking, security, servers, and storage.

3.Question 3
Which are some of the key components of cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service? Select two.

0 / 1 point

IaaS providers deploy the middleware and install required applications on the virtual machines

This should not be selected

IaaS providers manage the hypervisors and provision virtual instances

IaaS providers manage large data centers that contain the physical machines required to power the
various layers of abstraction on top of them

Correct
In most IaaS models, end users do not interact directly with the physical infrastructure but
experience it as a service provided to them.

IaaS providers manage the hypervisors and end-users provision the virtual instances

4.Question 4
Which of the following are essential characteristics of Platform-as-a-Service? Select two.

1 / 1 point

In a PaaS model, the provider also takes responsibility for the application code and its maintenance
Organizations who opt for PaaS still need to configure supporting technologies such as load
balancers and databases

PaaS clouds provide services and APIs that help developers deliver elastically scalable and highly
available cloud applications

Correct
PaaS clouds typically include a variety of capabilities such as APIs for distributed caching, queuing
and messaging, file and data storage, workload management, user identity, and analytics, thus
eliminating the need to integrate disparate components.

PaaS offerings support middleware capabilities that assists developers by reducing the amount of
code that must be written to expand the application’s functional capabilities

Correct
PaaS offerings support a range of middleware capabilities, such as application servers, database
management systems, integration services, business process management systems, rules engines,
and complex event processing systems.

5.Question 5
Which one of the following is a key characteristic of Software-as-a-Service?

1 / 1 point

Ensure every user has access to the same, centrally located, infrastructure and application code

SaaS services do not provide options for user customization

Security, compliance, and maintenance of the software are the responsibilities of the user

Single tenant architecture

Correct
Infrastructure and application code—are all maintained centrally and accessed by all users.

6.Question 6
Which of these statements is a characteristic of Public Clouds?

1 / 1 point

A public cloud provides a dedicated pool of resources to each of its multiple users

Resources are assigned as per estimated need decided at the time of subscribing for the service

A public cloud is a virtualized multi-tenant architecture

The cloud provider provisions the resources and services as needed by individual users

Correct
Public cloud is a virtualized multi-tenant architecture that enables users to share computing
resources residing outside their firewalls.

7.Question 7
Which of the following statements is NOT a correct statement about Private clouds?

1 / 1 point

VPC is an example of a type of Private Cloud

Private Clouds can be implemented internally or externally

Private clouds can only be deployed on-premise, in an organization’s own datacenter

Private Clouds are suitable for workloads that require maximum control and security

Correct
Private clouds can be deployed on-premise as well as over a logically isolated part of a public cloud.

8.Question 8
Which of these statements are true of Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs)? Select two.
1 / 1 point

VPC allows all users of the shared public cloud to access resources in the VPC on need basis; it
also allows users of the VPC to access resources of the public cloud

The VPC infrastructure is owned, managed, and operated by the public cloud service provider

Correct
While the infrastructure is tailored to an individual organization’s unique needs, it is still owned,
managed, and operated by the public cloud service provider.

VPCs may be provisioned over a cloud service provider’s infrastructure, but the infrastructure is
owned, managed, and operated by the enterprise

VPCs are provisioned in a logically isolated part of a shared public cloud

Correct
A VPC is a public cloud offering that lets an organization establish its own private and secure cloud-
like computing environment in a logically isolated part of a shared public cloud.

9.Question 9
If an organization needs to run a highly sensitive and mission critical application with unpredictable
performance and capacity requirements, which of the following models would best meet its
requirements?

1 / 1 point

Hybrid Cloud

Private Cloud

On-premise Data Centers

Public Cloud
Correct
With a Hybrid Cloud, organizations can choose to run their mission-critical applications on the
private cloud while leveraging additional public cloud capacity to accommodate spikes in demand for
their application.

10.Question 10
Which of the following statements about Hybrid Cloud is NOT correct?

1 / 1 point

Hybrid Clouds allow organizations to leverage the additional public cloud capacity when a workload
running on the private cloud has a spike in demand

Hybrid cloud is a computing environment that connects an organization's on-premise private cloud
and third-party public cloud into a single flexible infrastructure

Hybrid clouds are only suitable for workloads involving Infrastructure-as-a-Service

Hybrid clouds can prevent lock-in to a single Cloud Provider

Correct
Hybrid clouds are also being leveraged for other opportunities such as Software-as-a-Service
integration, Data and AI integration, enhancing legacy apps, and VM migration.
