List of questions
Question 111

A cloud engineer wants to implement a disaster recovery strategy that:
. Is cost-effective.
. Reduces the amount of data loss in case of a disaster.
. Enables recovery with the least amount of downtime.
Which of the following disaster recovery strategies best describes what the cloud engineer wants to achieve?
A hot site is a disaster recovery strategy that is cost-effective, minimizes data loss, and allows for the fastest recovery time in case of a disaster. It is an exact replica of the original site of the organization, with full computer systems as well as near-complete backups of user data. Hot sites are operational 24/7 and can take over functionality from the primary site immediately or with minimal delay.

Question 112

Department supervisors have requested a report that will help them understand the utilization of cloud resources, make decisions about budgeting for the following year, and reduce costs. Which of the following are the most important requisite steps to create the report? (Select two).
To create a report that helps understand the utilization of cloud resources, make budget decisions, and reduce costs, the most important steps are to enable resource tagging and configure the collection of performance/utilization logs. Resource tagging helps in categorizing and tracking costs by associating tags with resources, while performance/utilization logs are essential for analyzing resource usage over time.

Question 113

A customer relationship management application, which is hosted in a public cloud laaS network, is vulnerable to a remote command execution vulnerability. Which of the following is the best solution for the security engineer to implement to prevent the application from being exploited by basic attacks?
A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is the best solution to implement for a public cloud IaaS hosted customer relationship management application vulnerable to remote command execution attacks. WAFs are designed to monitor, filter, and block malicious HTTP/S traffic to and from a web application to protect against various application layer attacks, including remote command execution.

Question 114

A cloud solutions architect needs to design a solution that will collect a report and upload it to an object storage service every time a virtual machine is gracefully or non-gracefully stopped. Which of the following will best satisfy this requirement?
An event-driven architecture is suited for this scenario, where an event (like a VM shutdown) triggers a function to execute specific tasks (log collection and upload). This approach is efficient and ensures that the logs are collected and uploaded to an object storage service every time the VM is stopped, regardless of whether it is a graceful or non-graceful shutdown.

Question 115

A cloud developer needs to update a REST API endpoint to resolve a defect. When too many users attempt to call the API simultaneously, the following message is displayed:
Error: Request Timeout - Please Try Again Later
Which of the following concepts should the developer consider to resolve this error?
To resolve the issue of a REST API endpoint timing out when too many users attempt to call the API simultaneously, the developer should consider implementing rate limiting. Rate limiting controls the number of requests a user can submit in a given amount of time, preventing overuse of the API resources and ensuring availability for all users.

Question 116

Which of the following cloud deployment models is the best way to replicate a workload non-disruptively between on-premises servers and a public cloud?
A hybrid cloud deployment model is the best way to replicate workloads non-disruptively between on-premises servers and a public cloud. This model integrates on-premises infrastructure, or private clouds with public clouds, allowing data and applications to be shared between them.

Question 117

An administrator received a report that company data has been compromised. The compromise occurred on a holiday, and no one in the organization was working. While reviewing the logs from the holiday, the administrator noted the following details:
The most appropriate action for the cloud security analyst to recommend is using CIS-hardened images. These images are pre-configured by the Center for Internet Security to provide security benchmark standards that help in mitigating vulnerabilities in publicly available container images.

Which of the following accounts should the administrator disable to prevent a further breach?
Based on the provided log details, the account of the Software Developer was used to gain unauthorized access. This account should be disabled to prevent further breaches, especially considering no one from the organization was working during the holiday, suggesting a compromised account.

Question 118

Which of the following is true of SSDs?
SSDs (Solid State Drives) are known for their high performance and can handle a high number of input/output operations per second (IOPS). This makes them ideal for applications and workloads that require rapid access to storage, such as databases and high-performance computing applications.

Question 119

A cloud engineer is in charge of deploying a platform in an laaS public cloud. The application tracks the state using session cookies, and there are no affinity restrictions. Which of the following will help the engineer reduce monthly expenses and allow the application to provide the service?
A pay-as-you-go model would be beneficial for the cloud engineer because it allows the application to be scaled based on demand, reducing monthly expenses since costs are only incurred for the resources actually used. Since there are no affinity restrictions and the application uses session cookies for state tracking, the pay-as-you-go model can handle fluctuating workloads without the need to pay for unused reserved resources or dedicated hosts.

Question 120

A systems administrator is provisioning VMs according to the following requirements:
* A VM instance needs to be present in at least two data centers.
. During replication, the application hosted on the VM tolerates a maximum latency of one second.
* When a VM is unavailable, failover must be immediate.
Which of the following replication methods will best meet these requirements?
Live replication is the process of continuously copying data in real-time to ensure that an exact copy is available in another location. Given the requirement for immediate failover and the presence of the VM instance in at least two data centers, live replication is the best method to meet the one-second maximum latency tolerance and ensure immediate availability in the event of a VM becoming unavailable.
