Exploring Cloud Computing Concepts

What is cloud computing?

• Cloud computing is a type of hardware.

• Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services over the internet.

• Cloud computing is exclusively for gaming applications.

• Cloud computing refers to local server storage.

Name three essential terminologies associated with cloud computing.

• DaaS

• CaaS

• FaaS

• IaaS, PaaS, SaaS

What are the different cloud service models?

• IaaS, PaaS, SaaS

• DaaS, FaaS, CaaS

• XaaS, YaaS, ZaaS

• AaaS, BaaS, CaaS

Explain the concept of virtualization in cloud computing.

• Virtualization allows multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server, optimizing resource use and providing flexibility in cloud computing.

• Virtualization restricts the number of applications that can run on a server.

• Virtualization is only used for desktop applications.

• Virtualization eliminates the need for physical servers entirely.

What is load balancing and why is it important?

• Load balancing is crucial for enhancing performance, reliability, and scalability of applications.

• Load balancing is a method to increase server costs.

• Load balancing decreases application performance.

• Load balancing is only necessary for large enterprises.

Define resource pooling in the context of cloud computing.

• Resource pooling is the process of duplicating resources to enhance performance.

• Resource pooling is the practice of combining resources to serve multiple users dynamically, optimizing resource utilization and scalability.

• Resource pooling refers to the physical separation of resources for security purposes.

• Resource pooling is the exclusive use of resources by a single user.

What are the scaling principles of cloud computing?

• Static scaling

• Diagonal scaling

• Incremental scaling

• Vertical scaling and horizontal scaling

List some open-source tools used in cloud computing.

• Microsoft Azure

• Amazon S3

• Docker Swarm

• Kubernetes, OpenStack, Terraform, Apache CloudStack, Prometheus

How do cloud architectures differ from traditional architectures?

• Cloud architectures require more hardware than traditional architectures.

• Cloud architectures are more scalable, flexible, and utilize distributed resources compared to traditional architectures.

• Cloud architectures are less reliable than traditional architectures.

• Traditional architectures are more cost-effective than cloud architectures.

What is the role of a Customer Service Provider (CSP) in cloud computing?

• To provide technical support for hardware issues.

• The role of a Customer Service Provider (CSP) in cloud computing is to deliver and manage cloud services for customers.

• To manage on-premises IT infrastructure for clients.

• To develop software applications for cloud platforms.
