MCQs on Compute and Networking Services II

What is the primary purpose of compute services in cloud computing?

• To provide internet connectivity

• To offer processing power, memory, and resources for applications

• To store large amounts of data

• To manage user authentication

Which of the following is NOT a main type of compute service?

• Virtual Machines

• Containers

• Serverless Compute

• Data Warehouses

What is a key benefit of using a datacenter?

• Reduces network speed

• Improves efficiency, reliability, and scalability

• Increases hardware costs

• Requires on-premises management

Which technology abstracts physical IT resources into virtual components?

• Automation

• Virtualization

• Standardization

• Remote Operation

What is the role of a hypervisor in virtualization?

• Manages cloud billing

• Manages virtual machines and provides system services

• Connects users to the internet

• Encrypts data at rest

Which of the following is an advantage of Virtual Machines (VMs)?

• No need for an operating system

• Instantaneous startup

• Resource consolidation and isolation

• No resource overhead

What is a disadvantage of VMs compared to containers?

• Lower security

• Higher resource consumption and slower boot times

• Poor portability

• Cannot run multiple OS

Containers are best described as:

• Full operating systems running on physical hardware

• Lightweight, portable units packaging applications and dependencies

• Physical servers in a datacenter

• User authentication modules

Which statement is TRUE about containers?

• Each container runs its own independent OS

• Containers share the host OS kernel

• Containers cannot be moved across environments

• Containers are slower to start than VMs

What is a major security concern with containers?

• They require separate hardware

• Shared host OS leads to weaker isolation

• They cannot be automated

• No support for networking
