Most Recent Arcitura Education C90.06 Exam Questions & Answers

Cloud Service A is installed on Virtual Server A and the database it accesses is located on Cloud Storage Device A. Both Virtual Servers A and B are hosted by Hypervisor A. Requests from cloud

service consumers are intercepted by an automated scaling listener that automatically routes subsequent requests to additional instances of Cloud Service A whenever the given usage of an instance exceeds two concurrent requests.

Cloud Service Consumer A accesses Cloud Service A (1), which either sends a query or a read/write request to a database on Cloud Storage Device A (2). A usage and administration portal is available, enabling Cloud Consumer A to view the billing and usage history of Virtual Servers A and B (3).

Cloud Service Consumer A and Cloud Consumer A are owned by Organization A. which performs several tests on the cloud architecture that produce the following results:

A stress test is performed to generate workloads on Virtual Servers A and B to gauge their load capacity. This test reveals that both virtual servers have firm workload thresholds. If the workload capacity on either virtual server reaches its threshold, further processing requests are rejected.

An availability test shows that Cloud Service A becomes unavailable whenever Hypervisor A crashes.

A security test is carried out during which the cloud architecture is accessed by a malicious cloud consumer that disables the path used by Cloud Service A to access Cloud Storage Device A, thereby causing all subsequent cloud service consumer requests to be replied to with data access errors.

Which of the following statements describes a solution that addresses the concerns raised by the three tests?

Cloud Service A requires access to Cloud Storage Device A and Cloud Storage Device B. Cloud Service A is hosted by Virtual Server A. Virtual Server A and Virtual Server B are hosted by Hypervisor A, which resides on Physical Server A.

Cloud Service Consumer A sends a request to access Cloud Service A (1). Cloud Service A retrieves data from Cloud Storage Device A and Cloud Storage Device B (2). Cloud Consumer A uses the usage and administration portal to access resource usage reports for Cloud Service A (3).

Cloud Service Consumer A and Cloud Consumer A belong to Organization A, which is leasing an laaS environment from the cloud provider.

The cloud provider makes Cloud Service A available to several new cloud service consumers.

Additionally, new LUNs are created on Cloud Storage Devices A and B for new cloud consumers to perform regular data access functions. This increase in workload causes Virtual Server A to fail during peak usage periods. Organization A and the new cloud consumer organizations request that the cloud provider find a way to dynamically support the higher usage workloads.

Organization A keeps its master files and data in LUN B in Cloud Storage Device B. One day, a cloud resource administrator accidentally changes the path used to access LUN B. The original path cannot be retrieved. The cloud resource administrator informs Organization A's IT department that it must change any systems or tools it uses to access LUN B to the new path.

This causes significant challenges, as well as a costly period of disruption. Organization A asks the cloud provider to create a system that would help avoid disruption in access to LUN B, if this was to ever happen again.

The cloud provider has made Cloud Storage Device A part of a resource pool of synchronized cloud storage devices. Organization A is sharing Cloud Storage Device A with another cloud consumer organization. When cloud consumers from both organizations access Cloud Storage Device A at the same time, they encounter a resource constraint condition that causes Cloud Storage Device A to fail. Organization A requests that the cloud provider extend the existing cloud architecture to prevent this situation from happening again.

Which of the following statements provides a solution that can address all of these problems?

Cloud Service A and Cloud Service B perform different functions but both share access to Cloud Storage Device A when fulfilling requests from cloud service consumers that require data access.

Cloud Services A and B are hosted by Virtual Server A, which is hosted by Hypervisor A on Physical Server A.

Cloud Service Consumer A accesses Cloud Service A to issue a request for data (1). Cloud Service A queries a database in Cloud Storage Device A to retrieve the data (2). Upon receiving the requested data, Cloud Service Consumer A combines it with additional data to form a new collection of data. Cloud Service Consumer A then accesses Cloud Service B and provides it with the new data (3). Cloud Service B accesses a different database in Cloud Storage Device A to store the new data (4). Cloud Consumer B accesses the usage and administration portal to upload new data (5). The data is uploaded to Cloud Storage Device B (6).

Cloud Service Consumer A belongs to Organization A. Cloud Consumer B belongs to Organization B.

Cloud Service A is a SaaS product offered by the cloud provider to the general public, and is therefore used by numerous cloud consumers from different organizations at different times. Cloud Service B is also a SaaS product as part of the same overall solution as Cloud Service A.

However, because a given cloud service consumer only needs to access Cloud Service B when the data it receives from Cloud Service A meets certain criteria, it is not used nearly as much as Cloud Service A. Cloud Service A currently has a hard threshold allowing no more than 10 concurrent instances of it to exist at once. One day, Cloud Service Consumer A attempts to access Cloud Service A as the eleventh cloud service consumer, and is predictably rejected.

Cloud Service Consumer A belongs to Organization A, one of the cloud provider's most important customers. Therefore, when Organization A complains about not being able to access Cloud Service A during peak usage times, the cloud provider agrees to provide a solution.

As a result of a natural disaster, the cloud provider's data center that houses Physical Server A becomes unexpectedly unavailable. Physical Server A subsequently becomes unavailable for nearly two days. This outage exceeds what the cloud provider guaranteed in its original SLA and the cloud provider agrees to not charge Organization for usage fees for an entire month as compensation. However, the unavailability of Physical Server A had a significant impact on Organization As business, resulting in financial loss and loss of confidence of its clients.

Organization A informs the cloud provider that it cannot continue working with this cloud unless the cloud provider can guarantee that the availability of Physical Server A will no longer be dependent on a single data center or a single geographic region.

Organization B receives its latest monthly invoice from the cloud provider and discovers that the charges are identical to the invoice it received last month, even though the usage and administration portal shows that its data usage is a third less. They bring this issue to the attention of the cloud provider and are informed that they are currently subscribed to a fixed-allocation plan.

The cloud provider explains that in order to get them on a plan whereby they are charged only for actual data usage, Cloud Storage Device B would need to be upgraded and a system capable of tracking runtime usage would need to be established. Organization B asks the cloud provider to make these changes.

Which of the following statements provides a solution that can address Organization A's and Organization B's issues?

Virtual Server A and Virtual Server B are hosted by Hypervisor A, which resides on Physical Server A. Virtual Server A hosts Cloud Service A. Virtual Server C. Virtual Server D, Virtual Server E and Virtual Server F are hosted by Hypervisor B on Physical Server B. Physical Server C, which hosts Hypervisor C, is currently not being used.

Cloud Service Consumer A accesses Cloud Service A (1), which accesses files stored in a folder on Virtual Server A (2). Cloud Consumer B uses Proprietary User Portal A to administer legacy software (not shown) installed on Virtual Server D (3). Proprietary User Portal B and Proprietary User Portal C are also available for accessing additional legacy systems located on Virtual Server F; however, they are not often used.

The cloud shown in the figure is a private cloud. Department A and Department B share IT resources within the private cloud and are part of the same organization. Cloud Service Consumer A belongs to Department A and Cloud Consumer B belongs to Department B.

During routine access of Cloud Service A by Cloud Service Consumer A, the Department A cloud resource administrator is notified that a hardware fault is occurring within Physical Server A that will soon cause it to fail. The cloud resource administrator scrambles to arrange for Cloud Service A to be relocated but is unable to do so before Physical Server A does fail. It takes several more hours of downtime until, with the cooperation of the cloud provider, the Cloud Service A implementation is successfully moved to Physical Server C and made live again. Managers at Department A demand that a system be put in place to avoid this scenario in the future.

Cloud Service A was initially developed specifically for Department A's Cloud Service Consumer A. However, recently Department B has indicated that it will be developing its own cloud service consumer that will also need to regularly access Cloud Service A. After this new cloud service consumer is deployed, both Department A and Department B experience occasional runtime errors when their cloud service consumers attempt to access Cloud Service A at the same time.

Cloud Service A accesses a legacy system on Virtual Server A that requires regular updates and patches to stay current. Each time the legacy system is updated, Cloud Service A needs to undergo an update as well, during which it needs to be temporarily unavailable. Department A managers ask the cloud provider to extend the cloud architecture so that a duplicate, secondary implementation of Cloud Service A can be made available while the primary implementation undergoes a maintenance update.

Which of the following statements provide a solution that can adequately resolve all of Departments A and B's issues?

Cloud Service A accesses LUN Aon Cloud Storage Device A when it receives requests to process data from cloud consumers. Cloud Service A is hosted by Virtual Server A. The usage and administration portal can be used to access and manage the data in Cloud Storage Device B, which is also hosted by Virtual Server A. Virtual Server A is further hosted by Hypervisor A, which resides on Physical Server A. Virtual Server B is part of a virtual server cluster hosted by Hypervisor B. which resides on Physical Server B. Physical Server C is not in use and does not yet have an operating system installed.

Cloud Service Consumer A sends a request to Cloud Service A (1), which accesses data in LUN Aon Cloud Storage Device A (2). Cloud Consumer B uses the usage and administration portal to upload new data (3). The data is placed in LUN B on Cloud Storage Device B (4).

Cloud Service Consumer A and Cloud Consumer B belong to Organization A, which is leasing Virtual Server A and Virtual Server B from the cloud provider. Organization A also proceeds to lease Physical Server C as part of a new laaS agreement it signs with the cloud provider.

Organization A wants to provision Physical Server C with a number of legacy systems that cannot be deployed on virtual servers. However, when it attempts to do so, it realizes that its laaS package only provides Physical Server C as an out-of-the-box hardware server without anything installed on it. In order to deploy its legacy systems Organization A requires that Physical Server C first has an operating system installed, but it has no means of remotely provisioning Physical Server C with an operating system.

Organization A would like to deploy two of its legacy systems on Virtual Server A and to further extend Cloud Service A's functions so that it can be used as an external interface for cloud service consumers to access legacy system features. Additionally, Organization A would like to deploy three of its mission-critical legacy systems on Virtual Server B in order to take advantage of the additional performance and failover benefits provided by the virtual server cluster that Virtual Server B is part of. Each of the five legacy systems is comprised of dozens of components that need to be installed individually. Instead of manually installing each component of each legacy system, Organization A would like to customize workflows that can automate these deployment tasks.

During the first few months of working with its cloud-based legacy systems. Organization A receives a number of complaints from users that the cloud-based legacy systems are at times behaving erratically. However, when cloud resource administrators with Organization A review the cloud provider's reports that log usage, downtime and other runtime characteristics, they do not find any indication of erratic behavior or any other comparable problems. After some further investigation, the cloud resource administrators determine that the nature of the erratic behavior is specific to proprietary features of the legacy systems and is therefore not monitored or logged by the cloud provider's standard audit monitor, pay-per-use monitor or automated scaling listener.

The cloud resource administrators recommend that a new service agent be developed with features customized to monitor the legacy systems.

Which of the following statements provides a solution that can address Organization A's requirements?
