Why is snapshot management crucial for the virtual machine (VM) lifecycle?

  1. It allows for quick restoration points during updates or changes
  2. It is used for load balancing VMs
  3. It enhances VM performance significantly
  4. It provides real-time analytics on VM applications

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Snapshots serve as recovery points, enabling quick rollback to previous states if issues arise during updates or changes. This is crucial for VM lifecycle management.

In the context of cloud security, what is the primary benefit of implementing Identity and Access Management (IAM) with attributes and user context for access decisions?

  1. Enhances security by supporting authorizations based on the current context and status
  2. Reduces log analysis requirements
  3. Simplifies regulatory compliance by using a single sign-on mechanism
  4. These are required for proper implementation of RBAC

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Context-aware IAM enables access decisions that account for real-time conditions, enhancing security by adapting to changes in user and resource status.

How does artificial intelligence pose both opportunities and risks in cloud security?

  1. AI enhances security without any adverse implications
  2. AI mainly reduces manual work with no significant security impacts
  3. AI enhances detection mechanisms but could be exploited for sophisticated attacks
  4. AI is only beneficial in data management, not security

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

While AI improves threat detection, it also introduces risks as attackers can use it to develop advanced attack methods. Organizations must balance these risks.

Which principle reduces security risk by granting users only the permissions essential for their role?

  1. Role-Based Access Control
  2. Unlimited Access
  3. Mandatory Access Control
  4. Least-Privileged Access

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The principle of least privilege limits access to only necessary permissions, reducing the risk of misuse and exposure of sensitive data.

Which of the following strategies best enhances infrastructure resilience against Cloud Service Provider (CSP) technical failures?

  1. Local backup
  2. Multi-region resiliency
  3. Single-region resiliency
  4. High Availability within one data center

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Multi-region resiliency enhances infrastructure resilience by distributing resources across multiple geographic locations, reducing the impact of regional outages.
