List of questions
Question 121

A company's content management system (CMS) service runs on an laaS cluster on a public cloud. The CMS service is frequently targeted by a malicious threat actor using DDoS.
Which of the following should a cloud engineer monitor to identify attacks?
To identify DDoS attacks against a CMS service, a cloud engineer should monitor network flow logs. These logs provide data about the IP traffic going to and from network interfaces in a public cloud, which is essential for detecting the increased traffic volumes typically associated with DDoS attacks.

Question 122

A cloud engineer needs to integrate a new payment processor with an existing e-commerce website. Which of the following technologies is the best fit for this integration?
The best technology for integrating a new payment processor with an existing e-commerce website is a REST API over HTTPS. This method is widely used for web services, allowing secure communication over the internet and a standardized way for applications to communicate with each other.

Question 123

A company that has several branches worldwide needs to facilitate full access to a specific cloud resource to a branch in Spain. Other branches will have only read access. Which of the following is the best way to grant access to the branch in Spain?
The best way to grant full access to a specific cloud resource to a branch in Spain, while other branches have only read access, is to create a network security group with the required permissions. This group can be configured to allow full access to users within the branch's IP range while restricting others to read-only access.

Question 124

Which of the following network types allows the addition of new features through the use of network function virtualization?
A Software-Defined Network (SDN) is a network approach that allows the addition of new features through software configurations rather than hardware updates, making use of network function virtualization (NFV). NFV decouples network functions from proprietary hardware appliances, so they can run in software, which aligns with the flexibility offered by SDN.

Question 125

Which of the following migration types is best to use when migrating a highly available application, which is normally hosted on a local VM cluster, for usage with an external user population?
When migrating a highly available application normally hosted on a local VM cluster for usage with an external user population, the best migration type would be on-premises to cloud. This allows the application to leverage the cloud's scalability and reach, providing better access to the external users.

Question 126

A company's engineering department is conducting a month-long test on the scalability of an in-house-developed software that requires a cluster of 100 or more servers. Which of the following models is the best to use?
For testing the scalability of an in-house-developed software that requires a cluster of 100 or more servers, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is the best model. IaaS provides the necessary compute resources and allows the engineering department to configure the environment as needed for their specific test without the constraints that might be present in PaaS or SaaS offerings.

Question 127

Which of the following is used to deliver code quickly and efficiently across the development, test, and production environments?
A container image is used to deliver code quickly and efficiently across the development, test, and production environments. Container images are lightweight, standalone, executable software packages that include everything needed to run a piece of software, including the code, runtime, system tools, libraries, and settings.

Question 128

A cloud engineer is collecting web server application logs to troubleshoot intermittent issues. However, the logs are piling up and causing storage issues. Which of the following log mechanisms should the cloud engineer implement to address this issue?
Log rotation is the mechanism the cloud engineer should implement to address the issue of logs piling up and causing storage issues. Log rotation involves automatically archiving old log files and creating new ones after a certain size or time period, preventing storage issues.

Question 129

A security engineer recently discovered a vulnerability in the operating system of the company VMs. The operations team reviews the issue and decides all VMs need to be updated from version 3.4.0 to 3.4.1. Which of the following best describes the type of update that will be applied?
The update from version 3.4.0 to 3.4.1 is considered a minor update, typically involving small bug fixes or security patches that do not include major feature changes or improvements.

Question 130

Which of the following would allow a cloud engineer to flatten a deeply nested JSON log to improve readability for analysts?
Logstash can be used to flatten a deeply nested JSON log, which would improve readability for analysts. Logstash is a data processing pipeline that ingests data from various sources, transforms it, and then sends it to a 'stash' like Elasticsearch.
