Cloud Computing Quiz

What is the purpose of a Service Level Agreement (SLA) in cloud computing?

• To define the performance and availability of the cloud service

• To negotiate the price and payment terms of the cloud service

• To specify the security and privacy policies of the cloud service

• To describe the features and functions of the cloud service

What are the common parameters that are used to measure the quality of a cloud service in an SLA?

• Availability, latency, reliability, accountability, and warranties

• Scalability, elasticity, interoperability, portability, and compatibility

• Usability, functionality, maintainability, efficiency, and reliability

• Confidentiality, integrity, availability, authenticity, and non-repudiation

What is the difference between a customer-based SLA and a service-based SLA in cloud computing?

• A customer-based SLA covers all the services that a single customer uses from a cloud provider

• A service-based SLA covers a single service that is offered to all customers by a cloud provider

• Both A and B are correct

• Both A and B are incorrect

What is the benefit of having a multilevel SLA in cloud computing?

• It allows different levels of service for different types of customers

• It reduces the complexity and redundancy of multiple SLAs

• It integrates the corporate, customer, and service level agreements

• All of the above

What is the consequence of violating an SLA in cloud computing?

• The cloud provider has to pay a penalty to the customer as per the agreement

• The customer has to pay a penalty to the cloud provider as per the agreement

• The cloud provider has to terminate the service for the customer as per the agreement

• The customer has to terminate the service for the cloud provider as per the agreement

What is the main benefit of cloud optimization?

• It reduces the complexity and redundancy of multiple cloud services

• It increases the performance and availability of the cloud service

• It eliminates the cloud resource waste and aligns the costs to value

• It integrates the cloud service with other data, edge, and networking services

What is the difference between cloud optimization and cloud management?

• Cloud optimization is a subset of cloud management that focuses on cost and performance

• Cloud management is a subset of cloud optimization that focuses on monitoring and visibility

• Cloud optimization and cloud management are synonymous terms that refer to the same process

• Cloud optimization and cloud management are complementary processes that work together

What is an example of a cloud optimization best practice?

• Collecting and analyzing the cloud usage and cost data in a way that is easy to query and track

• Negotiating the price and payment terms of the cloud service with the cloud provider

• Selecting, provisioning, and right-sizing the resources for specific cloud features

• Both A and C are correct

What is a challenge of cloud optimization in a DevOps environment?

• The skillsets necessary for cloud optimization require constant reassessment and reskilling

• The hyperscalers produce thousands of upgrades, releases, or new services every year

• The rules and policies for cloud optimization can be expressed and enforced through code

• Both A and B are correct

What is a tool that can help with cloud optimization?

• CloudZero1

• Accenture2

• CloudCheckr3

• All of the above
