CCSP Exam - Question 301


On large distributed systems with pooled resources, cloud computing relies on extensive orchestration to maintain the environment and the constant provisioning of resources.

Which of the following is crucial to the orchestration and automation of networking resources within a cloud?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is essential for automatically configuring network settings for hosts, which is vital in a cloud environment where resources are dynamically provisioned. DHCP enables the automatic assignment of IP addresses and other network configurations, aiding in the efficient management of networking resources. DNS and DNSSEC are responsible for resolving domain names to IP addresses but do not handle network configuration. DCOM, a Microsoft technology, is unrelated to cloud networking orchestration.

D. DHCP

What! Makes no sense, devices on a network typically have a static ip and use NAT when needed. Bad question.

Ridiculous questions, DHCP relies on multicast which is not even a thing in the public clouds. The SDN emulate DHCP to provide IPs to the VMs ... Only viable choice compared to the 3 others

In large distributed cloud environments, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is crucial for orchestration and automation of networking resources. It dynamically assigns IP addresses, gateways, and DNS configurations to virtual machines and other cloud resources, ensuring seamless network connectivity across pooled infrastructure. Why Not the Others? A. DNSSEC: DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) ensures integrity and authenticity of DNS responses but does not handle network orchestration or resource provisioning. B. DNS: While Domain Name System (DNS) is essential for name resolution in cloud environments, it is not directly responsible for orchestrating networking resources. C. DCOM: Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) is a Microsoft technology for remote procedure calls, but it is not used for networking orchestration in cloud environments.
