Question 2mediummulti select
Full question →A workstation is unable to connect to the internet. The technician runs the 'ipconfig' command and sees the IPv4 address is 169.254.15.200 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. The workstation can ping other devices on the local subnet but cannot ping the default gateway or any external addresses. Which TWO actions should the technician take to resolve this issue? (Select two.)
Question 3hardmultiple choice
Full question →A company develops a web application that relies on a custom library available only for a specific Linux distribution. They want to deploy the application in the cloud with minimal administrative overhead, but they need full control over the software stack, including the ability to install the custom library and configure the web server. Which cloud service model BEST meets these requirements?
Question 4easymultiple choice
Full question →A company hosts a legacy application on a virtual machine. The application's license is tied to the MAC address of the virtual machine's network interface. The administrator needs to migrate the VM to a different host server without breaking the license. Which of the following virtualization features should the administrator use?
Question 5mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company implements a private cloud where multiple departments share the same physical hardware. The cloud platform ensures that each department's virtual machines are isolated from each other and that resources are dynamically allocated based on demand. Which cloud characteristic BEST describes this arrangement?
Question 6mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company must run a sensitive financial application that requires the application to be hosted on physical servers that are not shared with any other customer. The workload is highly variable and may require large amounts of resources for a few hours at a time. The company wants to minimize costs by paying only for the resources consumed. Which of the following cloud deployment models BEST meets these requirements?
Question 7hardmultiple choice
Full question →A company hosts a production database on a public cloud IaaS platform. The database requires consistent low-latency access to a storage volume that can be attached to a single virtual machine. The volume must persist independently of the VM's lifecycle, meaning data should remain intact even if the VM is stopped and started. The workload requires up to 10,000 IOPS. Which of the following cloud storage types should the technician configure to meet these requirements?
Question 8hardmultiple choice
Full question →A company currently hosts its own on-premises email server. To reduce hardware maintenance overhead, they decide to move the email server to the cloud. They require the ability to install and manage their own email application (e.g., Microsoft Exchange), including the underlying operating system, while the cloud provider is responsible for the physical infrastructure and virtualization layer. Which cloud service model best meets these requirements?
Question 9easymultiple choice
Full question →A cloud administrator can log into a web portal at any time, day or night, and immediately provision a new virtual server with the desired resources without having to contact the cloud provider's support team or wait for approval. Which essential characteristic of cloud computing does this scenario BEST describe?
Question 10mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company is migrating a legacy application to the cloud. The application requires a specific operating system configuration and the IT team needs full administrative control over the operating system, including the ability to install custom software and configure kernel settings. The company wants to avoid upfront hardware costs and pay only for what they use. Which cloud service model BEST meets these requirements?
Question 11easymultiple choice
Full question →A cloud provider hosts virtual servers for multiple clients on the same physical hardware. Each client's data and applications are logically isolated from others, and the clients have no knowledge of where their resources are physically located. This is an example of which essential characteristic of cloud computing?
Question 12mediummultiple choice
Full question →A cloud provider tracks a customer's usage of storage, processing power, and network bandwidth on a per-hour basis. At the end of the month, the customer receives a bill that exactly matches the resources consumed. Which essential cloud characteristic does this scenario BEST illustrate?
Question 13hardmultiple choice
Full question →A company hosts a critical database server on-premises. They want to migrate to a cloud solution that allows them to retain full administrative control over the operating system, database software, and security patches, but they do not want to manage the physical server hardware, rack space, or network cabling. Which cloud service model should they choose?
Question 14hardmultiple choice
Full question →A company is migrating its on-premises virtualized infrastructure to a public cloud IaaS provider. The on-premises VMs were configured with static private IP addresses that are hardcoded in legacy applications for licensing and integration purposes. After migration, the legacy applications fail because the IP addresses assigned to the VMs in the cloud are different from the original on-premises addresses. The cloud provider does not allow the customer to keep the same IP addresses without using additional services. Which cloud computing characteristic is MOST directly responsible for the IP address change?
Question 15mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company is migrating its on-premises web servers to the cloud. They want to maintain full control over the operating system, web server software, and security configurations, but they do not want to manage the underlying physical hardware, storage, or network infrastructure. Which cloud service model best meets these requirements?
Question 16hardmultiple choice
Full question →A company is developing a custom application that requires a specific Linux kernel version and full root access to install and configure third-party security modules. The company wants to minimize the management of physical infrastructure but needs complete control over the operating system environment, including the ability to modify kernel parameters. The cloud provider will be responsible for all underlying hardware and the hypervisor. Which cloud service model should the company choose?
Question 17mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company needs to run a legacy application that requires a specific version of a Linux kernel that is not supported by the current physical server's hardware. The IT team wants to use virtualization to run this application on the existing server. Which virtualization technology would BEST allow this?
Question 18mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company needs to move a virtual machine (VM) from one physical host to another in the same datacenter. The VM must remain accessible via its current private IP address, and downtime must be kept to an absolute minimum. Which cloud feature BEST enables this migration?
Question 19mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company runs a critical web application on a virtual machine in a public cloud. To ensure high availability during traffic spikes and hardware failures, the administrator wants to distribute incoming traffic across multiple identical VMs. Which of the following cloud solutions BEST meets this requirement?
Question 20mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company is migrating its email server to the cloud. Compliance regulations require that the company's server operating system and data must be isolated from other customers. The company wants dedicated server resources but does not need physical hardware control. Which cloud service model meets these requirements?
