An availability zone (AZ) within a cloud region consists of:

• A single, large data center.

• Multiple geographically dispersed data centers.

• Independent data centers with redundant power, network, and cooling.

• User-managed virtual machines spread across multiple regions.

Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets can automatically scale the number of VM instances based on:

• User login activity

• Resource demand

• Specific time schedules only

• Manual intervention only

Elasticity in cloud computing refers to the ability to:

• Securely access data and applications from anywhere.

• Define specific pricing tiers for different resource usage.

• Provision and de-provision resources (like storage, compute) on-demand.

• Guarantee consistent performance for all applications.

A region in cloud computing is:

• A single server within a data center.

• A user's account with a specific cloud provider.

• A geographically distinct area containing multiple availability zones.

• A pre-configured software package offered by a cloud provider.

A multi-cloud environment refers to:

• A single cloud provider offering various services (storage, compute, etc.)

• A private cloud deployment within a company's network.

• A hybrid cloud combining public and private cloud resources.

• The use of multiple public clouds from different providers.

Microsoft Entra is a suite of products that focus on:

• Virtual Machine Management in Azure

• Data Analytics in the Cloud

• Identity and Access Management

• Containerization Technologies

When developing cloud-first applications, which of the following cloud service models offers the greatest focus on developer productivity and removes management of underlying infrastructure?

• IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)

• PaaS (Platform as a Service)

• SaaS (Software as a Service)

Data sovereignty refers to the:

• Ability to access data from any device.

• Control of data storage locations by regulations.

• Right of an organization to govern where its data is stored and processed.

• • Responsibility of a cloud provider for data security breaches.

Data residency refers to:

• The security measures employed to protect data at rest.

• The ability to access and manage data from anywhere.

• The geographic location where data is physically stored.

• The ownership rights associated with a specific data set.

BYOK is a security practice in cloud computing that allows users to:

• Encrypt data at rest with a cloud provider's key.

• Access cloud resources using multi-factor authentication.

• Manage encryption keys for their data stored in the cloud.

• Utilize cloud-based key management services.
