The management plane is used to administer a cloud environment and perform
administrative tasks across a variety of systems, but most specifically it's used
with the hypervisors.
What does the management plane typically leverage for this orchestration?
A. APIs
B. Scripts
C. TLS
D. XML
The management plane uses APIs to execute remote calls across the cloud
environment to various management systems, especially hypervisors. This
allows a centralized administrative interface, often a web portal, to orchestrate
tasks throughout an enterprise. Scripts may be utilized to execute API calls, but
they are not used directly to interact with systems. XML is used for data encoding
and transmission, but not for executing remote calls. TLS is used to encrypt
communications and may be used with API calls, but it is not the actual process
for executing commands.
When dealing with PII, which category pertains to those requirements that can
carry legal sanctions or penalties for failure to adequately safeguard the data and
address compliance requirements?
A. Contractual
B. Jurisdictional
C. Regulated
D. Legal
Regulated PII pertains to data that is outlined in law and regulations. Violations of
the requirements for the protection of regulated PII can carry legal sanctions or
,penalties. Contractual PII involves required data protection that is determined by
the actual service contract between the cloud provider and cloud customer,
rather than outlined by law. Violations of the provisions of contractual PII carry
potential financial or contractual implications, but not legal sanctions. Legal and
jurisdictional are similar terms to regulated, but neither is the official term used.

Although the united states does not have a single, comprehensive privacy and
regulatory framework, a number of specific regulations pertain to types of data or
populations.
Which of the following is NOT a regulatory system from the United States federal
government?
A. HIPAA
B. SOX
C. FISMA
D. PCI DSS
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) pertains to
organizations that handle credit card transactions and is an industry-regulatory
standard, not a governmental one. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) was passed in
2002 and pertains to financial records and reporting, as well as transparency
requirements for shareholders and other stakeholders. The Health Insurance and
Portability Act (HIPAA) was passed in 1996 and pertains to data privacy and
security for medical records. FISMA refers to the Federal Information Security
Management Act of 2002 and pertains to the protection of all US federal
government IT systems, with the exception of national security systems.
The president of your company has tsked you with implementing cloud services
as the most efficient way of obtaining a robust disaster recovery configuration for
your production services.
Which of the cloud deployment models would you MOST likely be exploring?
A. Hybrid
,B. Private
C. Community
D. Public
A hybrid cloud model spans two more different hosting configurations or cloud
providers. This would enable an organization to continue using its current
hosting configuration, while adding additional cloud services to enable disaster
recovery capabilities. The other cloud deployment models--public, private, and
community--would not be applicable for seeking a disaster recovery
configuration where cloud services are to be leveraged for that purpose rather
than production service hosting.
If you are running an application that has strict legal requirements that the data
cannot reside on systems that contain other applications or systems, which
aspect of cloud computing would be prohibitive in this case?
A. Multitenancy
B. Broad network access
C. Portability
D. Elasticity
Multitenancy is the aspect of cloud computing that involves having multiple
customers and applications running within the same system and sharing the
same resources. Although considerable mechanisms are in place to ensure
isolation and separation, the data and applications are ultimately using shared
resources. Broad network access refers to the ability to access cloud services
from any location or client. Portability refers to the ability to easily move cloud
services between different cloud providers, whereas elasticity refers to the
capabilities of a cloud environment to add or remove services, as needed, to meet
current demand.
The REST API is a widely used standard for communications of web-based
services between clients and the servers hosting them.
Which protocol does the REST API depend on?
A. HTTP
B. SSH
C. SAML
D. XML
Representational State Transfer (REST) is a software architectural scheme that
applies the components, connectors, and data conduits for many web
applications used on the Internet. It uses and relies on the HTTP protocol and
supports a variety of data formats. Extensible Markup Language (XML) and
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) are both standards for exchanging
encoded data between two parties, with XML being for more general use and
, SAML focused on authentication and authorization data. Secure Shell client (SSH)
is a secure method for allowing remote login to systems over a network.
Which of the following actions will NOT make data part of the create phase of the
cloud data lifecycle?
A. Modify data
B. Modify metadata
C. New data
D. Import data
Modifying the metadata does not change the actual data. Although this initial
phase is called "create", it can also refer to modification. In essence, any time
data is considered "new", it is in the create phase. This can come from data that
is newly created, data that is imported into a system and is new to that system, or
data that is already present and is modified into a new form or value.
Most APIs will support a variety of different data formats or structures.
However, the SOAP API will only support which one of the following data
formats?
A. XML
B. XSLT
C. JSON
D. SAML
The Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) protocol only supports the Extensible
Markup Language (XML) data format. Although the other options are all data
formats or data structures, they are not supported by SOAP
Which cloud storage type is typically used to house virtual machine images that
are used throughout the environment?
A. Structured
B. Unstructured
C. Volume
D. Object
Object storage is typically used to house virtual machine images because it is
independent from other systems and is focused solely on storage. It is also the
most appropriate for handling large individual files. Volume storage, because it is
allocated to a specific host, would not be appropriate for the storing of virtual
images. Structured and unstructured are storage types specific to PaaS and
would not be used for storing items used throughout a cloud environment.
With an API, various features and optimizations are highly desirable to scalability,
reliability, and security.
