  1. System files
  2. User backups

A technician just received the lessons learned from some recent data that was lost due to an on-premises file-server crash. The action point is to change the backup strategy to minimize manual intervention. Which of the following is the BEST approach for the technician to implement?

  1. Backup as a service
  2. RAID 1
  3. Long-term storage
  4. New backup devices

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A) Backup as a Service
Backup as a Service (BaaS) is a cloud-based service that allows companies to remotely back up and store their data. It generally provides automatic and scheduled backups that are done remotely, minimizing the need for manual intervention. BaaS can also provide easy access to data restoration and disaster recovery, allowing the technician to quickly and easily restore data in case of a crash or other disaster.



A marketing team is using a SaaS-based service to send emails to large groups of potential customers. The internally managed CRM system is configured to generate a list of target customers automatically on a weekly basis, and then use that list to send emails to each customer as part of a marketing campaign. Last week, the first email campaign sent emails successfully to 3,000 potential customers. This week, the email campaign attempted to send out 50,000 emails, but only 10,000 were sent. Which of the following is the MOST likely reason for not sending all the emails?

  1. API request limit
  2. Incorrect billing account
  3. Misconfigured auto-scaling
  4. Bandwidth limitation

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

API request limit is the MOST likely reason for not sending all the emails. Many SaaS-based services have API request limits which determine the number of requests that can be made to their systems within a certain period of time. If the marketing team exceeded this limit, the service may have stopped processing the remaining requests, resulting in only a portion of the emails being sent. This can be confirmed by checking the documentation of the SaaS service or by contacting their customer support.

A developer is no longer able to access a public cloud API deployment, which was working ten minutes prior. Which of the following is MOST likely the cause?

  1. API provider rate limiting
  2. Invalid API token
  3. Depleted network bandwidth
  4. Invalid API request

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The correct answer is “B.” An API token is necessary before the API request can be sent. If the token is no longer working, the API request wouldn’t be submitted.



A support engineer wants to prevent users from running malware on several IaaS compute instances. Which of the following will BEST achieve this objective?

  1. Encrypt all applications that users should not access.
  2. Set the execute filesystem permissions on the desired applications only.
  3. Implement an application whitelisting policy.
  4. Disable file sharing on the instance.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Whitelisting policies only allow approved applications to run, which would effectively prevent any unauthorized application from executing, including malware.

Option A is not a good solution to prevent users from running malware, as encryption is not designed to prevent users from running malware but to protect data from unauthorized access.

Option B can help to limit which applications can run, but it won't prevent users from running malware if the malware is disguised as an approved application.

Option D won't be a good solution either as it only restricts access to shared files, not the execution of applications.
