1
What is a primary feature of a Storage Area Network (SAN)?
Uses direct-attached storage for local access
Operates using only traditional spinning hard drives
Provides high-speed storage access over a dedicated network
Stores data using a distributed file system over the internet
2
Which technology allows centralized control of a network through software rather than traditional hardware methods?
Ethernet
SDN
MPLS
VPN
3
Which technology helps organizations secure cloud applications by providing visibility, compliance, and data protection?
CDN
IDS
CASB
VPN
4
What is the primary purpose of a Content Delivery Network (CDN)?
To store all website data in a single centralized server
To distribute content across multiple servers for faster access
To restrict access to web content based on user location
To enhance database performance for web applications
5
T/F: A Private cloud is hosted internally, while a Hosted Private cloud is hosted by a third party
False
True
6
What is the key difference between scalability and elasticity in cloud computing?
Scalability for long-term growth, while elasticity adjusts dynamically
Scalability applies to storage, while elasticity applies to computing power
Elasticity increases resources permanently, while scalability is temporary
Elasticity is manual, while scalability is always automated
7
What is a key characteristic of a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)?
It cannot be customized for specific security needs
It requires on-premises hardware for operation
It only supports private, on-site data centers
It provides isolated network environments within a public cloud
8
What is a key characteristic of a spine-and-leaf network topology?
It relies on a single central switch for all traffic routing
Every leaf switch connects to spine switches for low-latency performance
It uses a hierarchical tree structure with a core layer
9
Which approach allows automated, repeatable, and consistent deployment of infrastructure using code?
Manual server configuration
Platform as a Service
Infrastructure as Code
Traditional network administration
