A company has decided to scale its e-commerce application from its corporate datacenter to a commercial cloud provider to meet an anticipated increase in demand during an upcoming holiday.
The majority of the application load takes place on the application server under normal conditions. For this reason, the company decides to deploy additional application servers into a commercial cloud provider using the on-premises orchestration engine that installs and configures common software and network configurations.

The remote computing environment is connected to the on-premises datacenter via a site-to-site IPSec tunnel. The external DNS provider has been configured to use weighted round-robin routing to load balance connections from the Internet.

During testing, the company discovers that only 20% of connections completed successfully.

Instructions
Review the network architecture and supporting documents and fulfill these requirements:
Part 1:

-Analyze the configuration of the following components: DNS, Firewall 1, Firewall 2, Router 1, Router 2, VPN and Orchestrator Server.
-Identify the problematic device(s).
-Part 2:
-Identify the correct options to provide adequate configuration for hybrid cloud architecture.
-If any time you would like to bring back the initial state of the simulation, please click the Reset All button.

Part 1



















Part 2
Only select a maximum of TWO options from the multiple choice question. (Choose two.)

  1. Update the PSK (Pre-shared key) in Router 2.
  2. Update the A record on the DNS from 2.2.2.2 to 1.1.1.1.
  3. Promote deny All to allow All in Firewall 1 and Firewall 2.
  4. Change the Address Space on Router 2.
  5. Change internal IP Address of Router 1.
  6. Reverse the Weight property in the two CNAME records on the DNS.
  7. Add the Application Server at on-premises to the Load Balancer.

Answer(s): A,D



An organization suffered a critical failure of its primary datacenter and made the decision to switch to the DR site. After one week of using the DR site, the primary datacenter is now ready to resume operations.
Which of the following is the MOST efficient way to bring the block storage in the primary datacenter up to date with the DR site?

  1. Set up replication.
  2. Copy the data across both sites.
  3. Restore incremental backups.
  4. Restore full backups.

Answer(s): A

A cloud administrator is building a new VM for machine-learning training. The developer requesting the VM has stated that the machine will need a full GPU dedicated to it. Which of the following configuration options would BEST meet this requirement?

  1. Virtual GPU
  2. External GPU
  3. Passthrough GPU
  4. Shared GPU

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

C. Passthrough GPU would be the best configuration option to meet the requirement of a full GPU dedicated to the machine-learning training VM.

Passthrough GPU, also known as GPU pass-through, allows a physical GPU to be directly assigned to a virtual machine, providing the VM with full access to the GPU’s resources. This means that the VM will have a dedicated physical GPU, providing the performance required for machine-learning training.

Which of the following service models would be used for a database in the cloud?

  1. PaaS
  2. IaaS
  3. CaaS
  4. SaaS

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A. PaaS (Platform as a Service) would be the service model used for a database in the cloud.

PaaS provides a platform for developers to build, deploy, and manage applications without the need to manage the underlying infrastructure. In the case of a database, a PaaS provider would offer a managed database service that would handle tasks such as software updates, data backups, and scaling, allowing developers to focus on building and maintaining their applications.



A VDI administrator has received reports from the drafting department that rendering is slower than normal. Which of the following should the administrator check
FIRST to optimize the performance of the VDI infrastructure?

  1. GPU
  2. CPU
  3. Storage
  4. Memory

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

A) GPU
When it comes to rendering, the graphics processing unit (GPU) plays a crucial role in VDI performance. The GPU is responsible for accelerating the processing of graphics-intensive workloads such as rendering. Therefore, if the drafting department is reporting slow rendering, the VDI administrator should check the GPU usage and ensure that the appropriate GPU hardware and drivers are installed and configured correctly. Optimizing the GPU resources can significantly enhance the performance of VDI infrastructure for rendering workloads.

While the other options (CPU, storage, memory) are also important factors for VDI performance, they are typically not the primary bottleneck for rendering workloads. It's still important to ensure that they are also configured appropriately for the VDI environment, but the GPU is the first thing that the VDI administrator should check in this scenario.
