Understanding Cloud Networking Concepts

What does NFV stand for in the context of cloud computing?

• Network Function Virtualization

• Network File Versioning

• Network Frequency Variation

• Network Firewall Verification

Which of the following is a characteristic of a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)?

• It is a public cloud service.

• It provides a private network within a public cloud.

• It is only accessible via direct physical connections.

• It does not support network security groups.

Identify the primary function of a Network Security Group (NSG).

• To encrypt data at rest

• To control inbound and outbound traffic to network interfaces

• To provide DNS services

• To manage cloud storage

Explain how a NAT gateway functions in a cloud environment.

• It provides a direct connection to the internet.

• It translates private IP addresses to public IP addresses for outbound traffic.

• It encrypts data for secure transmission.

• It acts as a firewall for incoming traffic.

Which cloud deployment model combines both public and private cloud features?

• Public Cloud

• Private Cloud

• Hybrid Cloud

• Community Cloud

Discuss the advantages of using a Direct Connect option for cloud connectivity.

• It is less secure than a VPN.

• It provides a dedicated network connection for increased bandwidth and reliability.

• It is more expensive than traditional internet connections.

• It requires no setup or configuration.

What is the primary benefit of using Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)?

• It provides software applications over the internet.

• It offers a platform for developing applications.

• It provides virtualized computing resources over the internet.

• It offers customer support services.

How does elasticity differ from scalability in cloud computing?

• Elasticity refers to the ability to automatically adjust resources, while scalability refers to the ability to increase resources.

• Elasticity is about reducing resources, while scalability is about maintaining resources.

• Elasticity is a feature of private clouds only, while scalability is a feature of public clouds.

• Elasticity and scalability are the same concepts.

Which of the following is an example of a Platform as a Service (PaaS)?

• Amazon EC2

• Google App Engine

• Dropbox

• Microsoft Office 365

Analyze the role of multitenancy in cloud computing.

• It allows multiple users to share the same physical resources while keeping their data isolated.

• It restricts access to a single user per server.

• It provides dedicated resources to each user.

• It is only applicable to private clouds.
