Certified Implementation Specialist - Cloud Provisioning and Governance

A Schedule Profile is used to define when to start and stop a resource. This profile sets specific times for resource availability, ensuring resources are used efficiently according to a predefined schedule.

A Compute Profile typically defines what virtual hardware is presented to end users and provides custom t-shirt sizes (small, medium, large, etc.) for that virtual hardware. This ensures that users have predefined configurations for their virtual machines, enhancing consistency and ease of use. It does not generally deal with OS choices, security group offerings, or specific provisioning times.

To make a Catalog Item viewable but not executable for users in the Marketing Developers group, the appropriate permission to use is 'Access.' This permission allows users to see the item without having the capability to execute it. The 'Viewer' permission mentioned in one of the options does not exist in this context.

In Cloud Provisioning and Governance, governance objects typically include Quotas, Credentials, and Policies. Quotas help manage and limit resource usage, ensuring fair resource distribution and avoiding overconsumption. Credentials are essential for securely managing access and identity verification. Policies are used to define rules and guidelines for using cloud resources, ensuring compliance with organizational standards. Permissions and SLAs, while related to cloud management, are not typically categorized under governance objects.

Puppet, Chef, Ansible Tower, and Salt are widely known for their use in Configuration Management. These tools help automate the deployment, configuration, and management of systems, ensuring that they are in the desired state. They are not primarily used for cloud cost control, cloud monitoring, or continuous integration.
