CISSP® Certification Domain 3: Security Architecture and Engineering Video Boot Camp for 2022 - Virtualization

The video tutorial covers virtualization, distributed computing, and cloud computing. It explains the benefits of virtualization, such as cost savings and resource efficiency, and discusses security concerns. The tutorial also differentiates between Type 1 and Type 2 hypervisors and explores cloud computing models like IaaS, SaaS, and PaaS. Additionally, it touches on distributed computing, grid computing, and peer-to-peer networks, highlighting their applications and security implications.

What is the primary advantage of using virtualization in a data center?

• Increased physical space

• Reduced hardware costs

• Enhanced physical security

• Simplified network topology

Which of the following is a benefit of using virtualization for SQL servers?

• Simplified user interface

• Dynamic resource allocation

• Increased physical server space

• Reduced data redundancy

Which of the following best describes a Type 1 hypervisor?

• Runs on top of an existing operating system

• Requires a host operating system to function

• Is installed directly on the hardware

• Is used primarily for personal computers

What is a significant security risk associated with virtualization?

• Limited scalability

• Increased physical server maintenance

• Higher power consumption

• VM escape

In cloud computing, what is a private cloud?

• A cloud service that offers unlimited storage

• A cloud service shared by multiple organizations

• A cloud infrastructure built exclusively for one organization

• A cloud service that is free to use

Which cloud service model provides everything except the applications and data?

• Platform as a Service (PaaS)

• Software as a Service (SaaS)

• Network as a Service (NaaS)

• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

What is a key characteristic of a public cloud?

• Limited scalability options

• Exclusive use by a single organization

• Shared infrastructure among multiple users

• Higher cost compared to private clouds

What is the main purpose of grid computing?

• To utilize unused resources for complex tasks

• To reduce the cost of cloud services

• To provide high availability of data

• To enhance network security

How does a peer-to-peer network differ from traditional client-server networks?

• Each node can act as both client and server

• It requires a central server for indexing

• It is more secure than client-server networks

• It is primarily used for corporate environments

What is a thin client?

• A standalone server

• A type of cloud service

• A device that relies on a server for processing

• A full-featured desktop computer
