Block Storage LUNs can be provisioned from 20 GB to 12 TB with which 2 options?

  1. Scalable
  2. Endurance
  3. Performance
  4. Redundant
  5. Distributed

Answer(s): A,E

Explanation:

Block storage, is used to store data files on Storage Area Networks (SANs) or cloud-based storage environments. It can be attached to compute instance. Block Storage normally mounted onto only one compute node at a time. With block storage, you specify the size of the storage and pay a fee based on the size you provisioned. Both endurance and performance options provide a range of storage sizes, and the only difference between them is how the Input/Output Operations per Second (IOPS) is delivered for a given storage volume.
- Endurance provides pre-set IOPS tiers of 0.25, 2, 4, and 10 IOPS/GB.
- Performance allows the user to set a custom level of IOPS beyond 10 IOPS/GB. Under the virtual private cloud (VPC), block storage does not have endurance or performance tiers. Instead, users can set pre-defined or choose custom IOPS when provisioning the storage.
Use Cases :
Block storage suitable for low latency workloads where consistently high speeds required. Features :
- Offer volume size from 20 GB to 12 TB,
- Provide encryption for data at rest
- Provide IOPS upto 48,000 IOPS
- Highly available and resilient.



What is a key feature of Virtual Private Cloud?

  1. Network traffic between VSIs on the private network
  2. It is deploy on-premises for increased security
  3. Applications are automatically deployed across 3 zones
  4. To run an isolated environment within a public cloud

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Virtual Private Cloud used to run an isolated environment within a public cloud. A VPC is a public cloud offering that lets an enterprise establish its own private cloud-like computing environment on shared public cloud infrastructure. A VPC gives an enterprise the ability to define and control a virtual network that is logically isolated from all other public cloud tenants, creating a private, secure place on the public cloud.
- VPC provides security in two ways. At the instance level protection is provided through security groups. At the subnet level, protection is provided by access control lists. Site-to-site virtual private networks (VPN) can be configured. A public gateway is used to enable egress to the internet for all virtual server instances on the attached subnet.
- VPC provides flexibility when customers securely connect to on premises or remote infrastructure. VPCs can be created in various regions around the world. Customers can select a private IP address or bring their own IP address for cloud applications. Using Direct Link helps create a dedicated connection between the cloud and on premises resources. This allows an organization to extend its network and provide a consistent connection without using the public internet.
- Responsiveness VPC makes it possible to create responsive cloud applications. Instance profiles with elasticity are used when creating applications for workloads, horizontal scaling, performance monitoring, and load balancing services.



Which statement is true regarding IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions
- vCenter Server?

  1. It is designed for proof of concept (POC) or sandbox testing instances only
  2. It is a hosted private cloud that delivers the VMware vSphere stack as a service
  3. It is streamlined and optimized ordering platform for Vmware
  4. It allows maximum of flexibility to design and build a hosted vmware enviroment

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

VMware vSphere is a streamlined and optimized ordering platform for VMware. With this platform, you can build your own IBM-hosted VMware environment by customizing and ordering the VMware-compatible hardware based on your selected VMware components.



Which IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions add-on service provides load balancing and traffic management services at a local and global scale?

  1. F5 BIG-IP
  2. FortiGate Security Appliance
  3. HyTrust CloudControl
  4. HCX

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

F5 BIG-IP on IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions provides advanced load balancing, traffic management, and application security within your VMware cluster and directly attached to all of your networks.



What are cloud native application designed to be?

  1. Platform Agnostic
  2. J2SE Compliant
  3. SOA Compliant
  4. Security Agnostic

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Cloud native is an architectural style where the application is typically one that is designed to run on a specific platform. In many cases, these applications can also be moved around to different cloud platforms so they are also cloud agnostic.
