A company developed a product using a cloud provider's PaaS platform and many of the platform-based components within the application environment. Which of the following would the company MOST likely be concerned about when utilizing a multicloud strategy or migrating to another cloud provider?

  1. Licensing
  2. Authentication providers
  3. Service-level agreement
  4. Vendor lock-in

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

"D" would be the correct answer due to the nature of the scenario, “A company developed a product using a cloud provider’s PaaS platform…” Using proprietary tools to develop something in one cloud, then moving to another cloud or multi-cloud strategy risks vendor lock-in.



A systems administrator is trying to establish an RDP session from a desktop to a server in the cloud. However, the connection appears to be refused even through the VM is responding to ICMP echo requests. Which of the following should the administrator check FIRST?

  1. The firewall
  2. The subnet
  3. The gateway
  4. The services

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

the first thing the administrator should check is the firewall.

Firewalls are designed to prevent unauthorized access to a network or system by blocking or allowing specific types of traffic. If the firewall is not configured to allow RDP traffic, then the connection will be refused. The administrator should verify that the firewall rules are correctly configured to allow RDP traffic to pass through.
While the subnet, gateway, and services can also impact the ability to establish an RDP connection, they are less likely to be the cause of the problem in this scenario.



Which of the following would be the BEST option for discussion of what individuals should do in an incident response or disaster recovery scenario?

  1. A business continuity plan
  2. Incident response/disaster recovery documentation
  3. A tabletop exercise
  4. A root cause analysis

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The correct answer would be "C." The scenario inquires what would be the “…BEST option for discussion…” for IR or DR scenario. A tabletop exercise would informally outline the IR/DR instance with team members, their roles, and their responses to that instance.

A systems administrator has migrated an internal application to a public cloud. The new web server is running under a TLS connection and has the same TLS certificate as the internal application that is deployed. However, the IT department reports that only internal users who are using new versions of the OSs are able to load the application home page. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the issue?

  1. The local firewall from older OSs is not allowing outbound connections.
  2. The local firewall from older OSs is not allowing inbound connections.
  3. The cloud web server is using a self-signed certificate that is not supported by older browsers.
  4. The cloud web server is using strong ciphers that are not supported by older browsers.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The firewall policies should NOT have any impact in this scenario. If the policies block inbound or outbound traffics, users could not even access the application while it was hosted on-prem.

Since the new web server and has the same TLS certificate as the internal application that is deployed, certificate is less likely the cause of the issue.

If the web server is using strong ciphers that are not supported by older browsers (for example - the web server requires AES 256 bits while the old browser supports 128 and 192 bits only), the users using old browsers could not access the page. This is the most likely cause of the issue.



A systems administrator is configuring RAID for a new server. This server will host files for users and replicate to an identical server. While redundancy is necessary, the most important need is to maximize storage. Which of the following RAID types should the administrator choose?

  1. 5
  2. 6
  3. 10
  4. 50

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Since the replication to another identical servers has taken care of high-availability responsibility already, we need to find out which RAID types provide maximum storage capacity.

There are N disks with capacity to store X amount of data

-- With RAID 5, the equivalent capacity of one drive is used for redundant information. Total storage capacity is (N-1) * X
-- With RAID 6, the equivalent capacity of two drives is used for redundant information. Total storage capacity is (N-2) * X
-- With RAID 10, the equivalent capacity of a half of total drives is used for redundant information. Total storage capacity is (N/2) * X
-- With RAID 50, the minimum equivalent capacity of two drives is used for redundant information. Maximum storage capacity is (N-2) * X

With this, RAID 5 is the best choice.
