  1. The public and private should be less coupled.

  2. By applying Cloud homogeneity for the application

  3. By Clouds enable automated security management

  4. By Redundancy/Disaster Recovery.

  5. Data storation.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The Redundancy or Disaster Recovery techniques are highly recommended to secure the application in various domains.

Which of the following is called 'Resource pooling' in the perspective of accessing remote services of Cloud computing?

  1. Measured services provide such controlling features. Resource pooling has a pool of such resources that need to be assigned.

  2. It provides transparency for both the provider and consumer of the utilised service.

  3. In this service, a consumer can unilaterally provision computing capabilities, such as server time and network storage.

  4. In this service, the provider's computing resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model.

  5. In this service, the providers and consumers have shared resources.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The provider's computing resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model with different physical, and virtual resources dynamically assigned according to the consumer demand.

Which of the following services is not provided automatically in 'Rapid elasticity' cloud control in cloud computing?

  1. This service is responsible for the resources to be configured elastically on the basis of demand.

  2. In this service, the capabilities are available for provisioning often appear unlimited and can be appropriated in any quantity at any time.

  3. In this service, the cloud systems automatically control and optimise resource use by leveraging a metering capability at some level of abstraction, appropriate to the type of service.

  4. In this service, the resources are optimised.

  5. This is a pre-planned service.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The 'Rapid Elasticity' service does not provide such control for the resources. This is true about 'Measured service' in cloud computing.

Which of the following on demand services is not included in Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) in clouds?

  1. It facilitates the deployment of applications or services without the cost and complexity of buying and managing the underlying hardware and software.

  2. In these services, the users are provided access to application software and databases.

  3. It provides physical virtual machines and other resources.

  4. IaaS-cloud providers supply the resources on-demand from their large pools installed in data centers.

  5. IaaS-cloud providers provides resource optimisation.


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is incorrect, as it does not provide such technique.

Which of the following services is not considered for the Encryption of data in clouds?

  1. To protect data from being compromised.

  2. It helps to protect data from any unauthorised access.

  3. It provides data availability.

  4. It does not prevent from data loss.

  5. It provides security for both providers and the customers.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Encryption is not responsible for such activities.

Which of the following are the informations/services that the Resilient computing does not provide in cloud automation technique?

  1. It is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources.

  2. In this computing, the clouds manage the infrastructures in a centralised platform.

  3. These fundamentals are necessary only for public cloud infrastructure.

  4. It provides optimisation of clouds.

  5. It manages the clouds in the public place based on their availability.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

These fundamentals are equally necessary for both public and private cloud infrastructure.

Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) provides which of the following services in provider hosts commercially available software for customers, and delivers over the Web.

  1. It provides the services specific functionality for each level in the application.

  2. It acts as an interface for the service provider and consumer.

  3. The consumer is responsible for the advance level security.

  4. It provides a resource management security.

  5. It provides resource optimisation.


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

It works on resource optimisation technique service in provider hosts commercially available software for customers and delivers over the Web.

Which of the following is not the characteristics of cloud computing?

  1. Agility improves with users' ability to re-provision technological infrastructure resources in cloud computing.

  2. Easier Maintenance of applications

  3. Security

  4. Virtualisation

  5. SQL injection.


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

These are not  the characteristics of cloud computing.

Which of the following 'Utility computing' provides the information for the service providers and consumers in order to achieve public cloud management?

  1. It refers broadly to any distributed application that distinguishes between service providers (servers) and service requestors (clients).

  2. It is a distributed architecture without the need for central coordination.

  3. It refers the packaging of computing resources, such as computation and storage, as a metered service similar to a traditional public utility.

  4. This computing has several computers that are used mainly by large organisations for critical applications.

  5. It manages the public clouds based on their availability.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is correct about 'Utility computing'. This computing manages the resources in a easier way that can be accessed with utility when required.

Which of the following tools does the 'Dynamic provisioning' in Cloud management depend on for the service vendors?

  1. It provides the allocation of the resources on pay-per-use basis to the customers.

  2. The customers contract in advance a predetermined amount of resources, which are prepared in advance of service.

  3. In this, the customers purchase cloud services directly from the provider, typically through a web form or console interface.

  4. The customer pays on a per-transaction basis.

  5. It provides optimised resources.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The provider allocates resources when the customer needs them, then decommissions them when they are no longer needed.

What services/informations does the 'Emulation Virtualisation' provide in clouds?

  1. In this virtualisation, the guest operating system requires modification.

  2. In this virtualisation, the hardware is not simulated.

Explanation:

This is correct about 'Emulation Virtualisation'.

What is the role of proxy in Brokered Cloud Storage Access system?

  5. It checks the authenticity of the system.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Proxy maintains the client and broker connection by measuring and forwarding the client request.

Which of the following information/service is incorrect about the Isolate Access to Data for the data protection in the clouds?

  4. A proxy with no access to storage, but access to both client and broker

  5. It works on optimisation of shared resources.


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

It does not work on such optimisation technique of resources.

What does the 'User self-provisioning' service provide in Cloud management for the SaaS vendor?

  1. It provides the allocation of the resources on pay-per-use basis to the customers.

  3. In this, the customers purchase cloud services directly from the provider, typically through a web form or console interface.

  4. The customer does not pay on a per-transaction basis.

  5. It works on data storage.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is known as 'User self-provisioning' in cloud management.

Which of the following techniques is adopted in Unmanaged Cloud Storage service for managing the clouds remotely?

  1. It determines the inaccessibility of such storage.
