An IaaS provider has numerous devices and services that are commissioned and decommissioned automatically on an ongoing basis. The cloud administrator needs to implement a solution that will help reduce administrative overhead. Which of the following will accomplish this task?

  1. IPAM
  2. NAC
  3. NTP
  4. DNS

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

from Microsoft: IP Address Management (IPAM) is an integrated suite of tools to enable end-to-end planning, deploying, managing and monitoring of your IP address infrastructure, with a rich user experience. IPAM automatically discovers IP address infrastructure servers and Domain Name System (DNS) servers on your network and enables you to manage them from a central interface.



An organization's web server farm, which is hosted in the cloud with DNS load balancing, is experiencing a spike in network traffic. This has caused an outage of the organization's web server infrastructure. Which of the following should be implemented to prevent this in the future as a mitigation method?

  1. Enable DLP.
  2. Configure microsegmentation.
  3. Enable DNSSE
  4. Deploy a vADC appliance.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

VADC virtual Application Delivery Controller

vADC is a virtual appliance that improves network application performance and safety. In addition to Layer 4 based load balancing, vADC provides balancing traffic based on Layer 7 HTTP application information like URL, HTTP Cookies or any other HTTP request information.



A vendor is installing a new retail store management application for a customer. The application license ensures software costs are low when the application is not being used, but costs go up when use is higher. Which of the following licensing models is MOST likely being used?

  1. Socket-based
  2. Core-based
  3. Subscription
  4. Volume-based

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The correct answer is C.

Source: IT Pro Academy

Volume licensing is a special type of software licensing setup that uses a single license key to authorize the software on multiple computers. For instance, a company may purchase a software license that allows up to 50 of their employees to use the software at the same time.

The socket based license means that a license for each physical socket is bought regardless of how many CPU cores it has. This license gets less expensive as the number of CPU cores per socket increase and load more VMs onto the system.

Core-based licensing requires all physical cores in the server to be licensed. Servers are licensed based on the number of processor cores in the physical server.

These 3 licensing models do not provide the required flexibility and elasticity: software costs are low when the application is not being used, but costs go up when use is higher.

The subscription model or the pay-as-you-grow model allows billing for only their use of resources.

A systems administrator in a large enterprise needs to alter the configuration of one of the finance department's database servers. Which of the following should the administrator perform FIRST?

  1. Capacity planning
  2. Change management
  3. Backups
  4. Patching

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The SA would do the other three regardless of the need to alter configurations. In this situation, the SA would have to present the change to the CCB in order to do the alteration.



A database analyst reports it takes two hours to perform a scheduled job after onboarding 10,000 new users to the system. The analyst made no changes to the scheduled job before or after onboarding the users. The database is hosted in an IaaS instance on a cloud provider. Which of the following should the cloud administrator evaluate to troubleshoot the performance of the job?

  1. The IaaS compute configurations, the capacity trend analysis reports, and the storage IOPS
  2. The hypervisor logs, the memory utilization of the hypervisor host, and the network throughput of the hypervisor
  3. The scheduled job logs for successes and failures, the time taken to execute the job, and the job schedule
  4. Migrating from IaaS to on premises, the network traffic between on-premises users and the IaaS instance, and the CPU utilization of the hypervisor host

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A. The IaaS compute configurations, the capacity trend analysis reports, and the storage IOPS. These factors can affect the performance of the IaaS instance and thus the performance of the scheduled job. The cloud administrator should evaluate the compute configurations to ensure that the instance has the appropriate resources such as CPU, memory and storage to handle the increased workload due to the new users. The capacity trend analysis reports can provide insight into the performance of the instance over time. The storage IOPS can also affect the performance of the job because it relates to the speed at which the data can be read and written.
