A company hosts a critical web application using a public cloud provider. The application is deployed across two separate data centers in different geographic regions. The cloud provider automatically routes traffic to the healthy region in the event of a full data center outage, with no manual intervention. Which cloud computing characteristic does this BEST describe?

Question 2mediummultiple choice

A company hosts a critical database on a virtual machine (VM) in a public cloud. The database uses a persistent block storage volume. The IT team needs to move the database to a new VM with more vCPUs and RAM in a different availability zone within the same region. The cloud provider does not support live migration across availability zones. Which of the following procedures will achieve the migration with the LEAST amount of downtime?

Question 3mediummultiple choice
Full question →

A company hosts a critical web application on a virtual machine (VM) in a public cloud. The IT team needs to move the VM to a new physical host in the same datacenter to free up resources on the current host. The application must remain accessible via its existing private IP address, and downtime must be minimized. Which cloud feature BEST meets these requirements?

Question 4hardmultiple choice

A company hosts its e-commerce platform on a public cloud. The cloud provider monitors the health of virtual server instances and automatically redirects incoming requests away from any instance that fails to respond. This ensures that the platform remains operational even if individual VMs crash. Which cloud computing characteristic does this scenario BEST illustrate?

Question 5mediummultiple choice
Full question →

A company hosts a critical web application on a public cloud IaaS platform. The application runs on virtual machines in a single region. The company wants to ensure that the application remains available even if the entire cloud region experiences an outage. They plan to deploy an identical infrastructure in a second region and configure automatic traffic failover. No manual intervention should be required after the failover. Which of the following cloud concepts BEST describes this architecture?

Question 6hardmultiple choice
Full question →

A company runs a critical database server on a virtual machine hosted on a Type 1 hypervisor. The requirement is that the database server must remain operational and accessible even if the underlying physical host experiences a hardware failure. Which of the following virtualization features should be implemented to achieve this goal?

Question 7mediummultiple choice
Full question →

A company hosts its e-commerce application on a public cloud provider. The architecture includes identical virtual server instances in two geographically separate data centers. A global load balancer monitors the health of each data center. If an entire data center becomes unavailable due to a natural disaster, the load balancer automatically redirects all traffic to the remaining healthy data center. The application continues to run without any manual intervention. This capability is BEST described by which cloud characteristic?

Question 8hardmultiple choice
Full question →

A global e-commerce company is designing a cloud architecture for its customer-facing website. The website experiences unpredictable traffic spikes during promotions. The company requires that during a regional cloud provider outage, all traffic is automatically redirected to a fully operational region with no manual intervention. Additionally, the company must ensure that all virtual machines across regions use identical configurations and a single management interface. Which cloud characteristic does the primary requirement address?

Question 9mediummultiple choice

A technician is troubleshooting a desktop computer running Windows 10 that has no network connectivity. The computer is connected via an Ethernet cable to a managed switch. The technician observes that the link light on the network interface card (NIC) is off, but the link light on the switch port is solid green. The technician tests the Ethernet cable with a cable tester and it passes. Connecting a different laptop to the same cable and switch port results in a successful connection. The technician boots the problematic computer from a Linux live USB drive and finds that the NIC link light comes on and the computer can access the network normally. After rebooting back into Windows, the NIC link light is off again and there is no connectivity. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of this issue?

Watch out for

Common Operational Procedures exam traps

  • Answering from memory before reading the full scenario.
  • Missing a constraint such as cost, availability, security, scope or command context.
  • Choosing a broad answer when the question asks for the most specific fix.
  • Ignoring why the wrong options are tempting.
