Which of the following best describes the primary difference between virtual machines (VMs) and containers?
Containers provide greater access to hardware resources than VMs.
Containers are essential to cloud-based IaaS services, while VMs are not.
VMs are used for microservices, while containers are used for full applications.
VMs virtualize at the hardware layer, while containers virtualize at the operating system layer.

Which of the following best evaluates the effectiveness of auto-scaling in a cloud environment?
Auto-scaling eliminates the need for any manual intervention in cloud resource management.
Auto-scaling combines compute, storage, and network resources into a single component to simplify management.
Auto-scaling allows resources to be scaled up or down based on demand, optimizing cost and resource utilization.
Auto-scaling ensures that resources are always over-provisioned to handle unexpected demand spikes.

A startup company began operations with employees working from home on individual workstations. As demand for their services increased, the company faced rapidly increasing capital expenditure costs to build out an on-premises model. Instead, they opted for a cloud-based platform that can scale rapidly to meet their exact requirements. The new license structure is billed monthly based on the number of employees using the platform.
Which licensing models apply? (Select two.)
Incorrect answer:
Perpetual
Volume-based
Per-User
Subscription

Explanation​

The two applicable licensing models in this scenario are:

  1. Per-User: The billing is based on the number of employees using the platform, which aligns with the per-user model where each user incurs a charge.
  2. Subscription: The platform is billed monthly, fitting the subscription model where services or software are paid for on a recurring basis, typically monthly or annually.
The other two options, Perpetual and Volume-based, do not apply. Perpetual involves a one-time payment for a software license, and Volume-based refers to pricing based on the total quantity of resources used, rather than the number of users or a subscription plan.
 
Evaluate the benefits of the subscription services payment model.
Which of the following is the most significant advantage for consumers?

Limited flexibility in terminating the service.
Higher overall costs compared to one-time purchases.
The ability to access services immediately upon subscription.
The requirement of long-term contracts.

Explanation​

The most significant advantage for consumers in the subscription services payment model is:
The ability to access services immediately upon subscription.
This benefit allows consumers to start using the service without needing large upfront investments, making it highly convenient and accessible. The other options are generally considered disadvantages rather than advantages:
  • Limited flexibility in terminating the service is a drawback.
  • Higher overall costs compared to one-time purchases is often a disadvantage.
  • The requirement of long-term contracts can also limit flexibility.
 
What process controls the access to resources on a cloud platform?
Identity management
Containerization
Subscription
Provisioning

Explanation​

The process that controls access to resources on a cloud platform is Identity management. It handles authentication, authorization, and user management to ensure only authorized users access resources.
The other options:
  • Containerization isolates applications.
  • Subscription is a payment model.
  • Provisioning allocates resources.

It simplifies the management process by allowing bulk assignment of permissions.
It complicates the management process by adding unnecessary layers.
It has no significant impact on the management process.
It makes it harder to enforce individual user restrictions.

Explanation​

The best description of the impact of organizing user accounts into groups within identity management is:

It simplifies the management process by allowing bulk assignment of permissions.

Grouping users enables administrators to assign permissions to multiple users at once, streamlining the management of access controls and reducing the complexity of handling individual user

What would be the most efficient and consistent means of deploying the needed configurations?
FaaS
Patches
VM templates
SDN

Explanation​

The most efficient method is VM templates, which allow for quick, consistent deployment of pre-configured virtual machines.

Other options like FaaS, patches, and SDN do not handle VM deployment effectively.

Containers provide greater access to hardware resources than VMs.
Containers are essential to cloud-based IaaS services, while VMs are not.
VMs are used for microservices, while containers are used for full applications.
VMs virtualize at the hardware layer, while containers virtualize at the operating system layer.

Explanation​

VMs virtualize at the hardware layer, while containers virtualize at the operating system layer, making containers more lightweight and efficient.

What type of virtual machine template is the sysadmin implementing?
Operating system
Solution
Managed
Identity management

Explanation​

The type of virtual machine template the sysadmin is implementing is a Solution template.

Solution templates typically define configurations for deploying multiple VMs with specified hardware allocations, such as memory and processing power, streamlining the deployment process. The other options do not specifically address hardware allocation in the same context.
