Question 6 of 352
A courier company has virtualized its packing software application. The CSA needs to confirm the deployment is utilizing the correct amount of CPU per virtual instance. After confirming the deployment requirements, the CSA should log into the cloud services portal to ensure that:
Correct Answer: C
The CSA needs to confirm that the deployment is utilizing the correct amount of CPU per virtual instance. This requires comparing the actual CPU usage per virtual instance with the deployment requirements to ensure compliance. Hence, the logical step is to verify that the deployment is using the recommended amount of CPUs per VM.
Question 7 of 352
Due to a competitor's unlimited data plan, a service provider is struggling and wants to transform its business services to be more hosting oriented. A cloud architect is tasked to review current cloud resource capacity and provide recommendations and a plan for better resource utilization. Given the following report:
Which of the following is the BEST option for the architect to suggest?
Which of the following is the BEST option for the architect to suggest?
Correct Answer: A
The best option is to downsize by migrating all media services to one server and decommission two servers. This approach effectively consolidates the underutilized media servers into a single server, which should be sufficient given their low utilization rates of 25%, 15%, and 12%. Combining these should not exceed the capacity of a single server. Additionally, decommissioning the two now redundant servers will optimize resource usage and reduce costs. Turning server 1 into a host server or adding new server capacities are less efficient choices given the current context of underutilization.
Question 8 of 352
A cloud administrator is receiving alerts that the disk on several systems is 90% full. Upon reviewing the systems, the administrator determines that the log directory is using 50% of the disk. The company has a 14-day retention policy for all logs. Which of the following is the BEST solution to implement to minimize future alerts?
Correct Answer: A
To minimize future alerts related to disk space usage while adhering to the 14-day retention policy, the best solution is to orchestrate a job to rotate the logs and upload them to external storage. This approach ensures that old logs are regularly moved out of the local system, freeing up disk space while maintaining log accessibility for compliance and auditing purposes. Simply deleting large log files or adding additional storage does not address the root cause of continuous log file growth, and archiving logs without rotation would still require manual management.
Question 9 of 352
A company purchased a SaaS CRM application. The signed SLA meets year-round performance requirements. Three months after deployment, customers start reporting a slow application response time. System availability, connectivity, and proper functionality still meet the SLA. Which of the following is MOST likely the reason for the poor response time?
Correct Answer: B
Given that system availability, connectivity, and proper functionality are still meeting the SLA, the most likely reason for the poor response time is bandwidth restrictions. Bandwidth limitations can lead to slow application performance even when all other system requirements are met. This situation indicates that while the connection to the service is stable and meets the service level agreements, the amount of data that can be transferred within a given time frame may be insufficient to handle the application's demands, resulting in slower response times for users.
Question 10 of 352
A cloud architect created a new delivery controller for a large VM farm to scale up according to organizational needs. The old and new delivery controllers now form a cluster. However, the new delivery controller returns an error when entering the license code. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause?
Correct Answer: B
The most likely cause is that the existing license is for a lower version. When a new delivery controller is added to a cluster, it often requires a license that is compatible with its software version. If the existing license is valid for an older version, the new delivery controller, running a different (likely newer) version, would encounter an error when attempting to use the older license.
