Exploring Cloud Computing Concepts

What is cloud computing?

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

• Cloud computing is only for large enterprises.

• Cloud computing is a type of hardware.

• Cloud computing refers to local data storage.

Name three advantages of using AWS.

What is an availability zone in AWS?

• A type of virtual machine in AWS.

• A collection of servers in a single data center.

• An availability zone is a distinct location within an AWS region designed for high availability and fault tolerance.

• A backup storage solution for AWS services.

Explain the concept of edge locations in cloud computing.

• Edge locations are the central hubs for all cloud computing operations.

• Edge locations are used exclusively for backup storage in cloud computing.

• Edge locations are the main servers that store all cloud data.

• Edge locations in cloud computing are data centers that cache content and services closer to end users to reduce latency and improve performance.

How does cloud computing enhance scalability?

• Cloud computing requires manual intervention for scaling resources.

• Cloud computing limits resource allocation, making scaling difficult.

• Cloud computing provides on-demand resource allocation, enabling easy scaling of computing power and storage.

• Cloud computing reduces the need for additional storage and computing power.

What is the difference between public, private, and hybrid clouds?

• Public clouds are shared, private clouds are dedicated, and hybrid clouds combine both.

• Hybrid clouds are only for large enterprises.

• Private clouds are always cheaper than public clouds.

• Public clouds are more secure than private clouds.

Describe the role of data centers in cloud computing.

• Data centers do not play a role in data security for cloud services.

• Data centers are only necessary for on-premises computing.

• Data centers are essential for hosting the servers and infrastructure that deliver cloud computing services.

• Data centers are primarily used for personal data storage.
