Question #1
You are migrating workloads to the cloud. The goal of the migration is to serve customers worldwide as quickly as possible According to local regulations, certain data is required to be stored in a specific geographic area, and it can be served worldwide. You need to design the architecture and deployment for your workloads.
What should you do?
What should you do?
- ASelect a public cloud provider that is only active in the required geographic area
- BSelect a private cloud provider that globally replicates data storage for fast data access
- CSelect a public cloud provider that guarantees data location in the required geographic areaMost Voted
- DSelect a private cloud provider that is only active in the required geographic area
Correct Answer:
C
C

Correctly selecting a public cloud provider that guarantees data will be kept in a specific geographic area is key for compliance with local regulations, especially when that data also needs global availability. This approach ensures that while the data respects local laws pertaining to storage, the global distribution capabilities of the public cloud facilitate swift access from anywhere in the world. Thus, ensuring both compliance and performance.

Question #2
Your organization needs a large amount of extra computing power within the next two weeks.
After those two weeks, the need for the additional resources will end.
Which is the most cost-effective approach?
After those two weeks, the need for the additional resources will end.
Which is the most cost-effective approach?
- AUse a committed use discount to reserve a very powerful virtual machine
- BPurchase one very powerful physical computer
- CStart a very powerful virtual machine without using a committed use discountMost Voted
- DPurchase multiple physical computers and scale workload across them
Correct Answer:
C
C

Starting a powerful virtual machine without a committed use discount is the most cost-effective approach here. Committed use discounts typically require a commitment of 1 to 3 years to obtain a lower price. Since the requirement in this scenario is only for two weeks, opting for a non-discounted virtual machine avoids unnecessary long-term financial commitments, thus aligning better with the short-term need. This flexibility in cloud resource management helps in optimizing costs for temporary needs.

Question #3
Your organization needs to plan its cloud infrastructure expenditures.
Which should your organization do?
Which should your organization do?
- AReview cloud resource costs frequently, because costs change often based on useMost Voted
- BReview cloud resource costs annually as part of planning your organization's overall budget
- CIf your organization uses only cloud resources, infrastructure costs are no longer part of your overall budget
- DInvolve fewer people in cloud resource planning than your organization did for on-premises resource planning
Correct Answer:
A
A

Reviewing cloud resource costs frequently is crucial due to the dynamic nature of pricing and usage in cloud environments. Unlike fixed on-premises infrastructure, cloud services can fluctuate in cost based on consumption, demand, and changes in service offerings. Regular reviews allow organizations to optimize budgets and ensure cost-effectiveness in their cloud operations. Therefore, frequent assessments are essential for maintaining budget control and operational efficiency in cloud infrastructure management.

Question #4
The operating systems of some of your organization's virtual machines may have a security vulnerability.
How can your organization most effectively identify all virtual machines that do not have the latest security update?
How can your organization most effectively identify all virtual machines that do not have the latest security update?
- AView the Security Command Center to identify virtual machines running vulnerable disk imagesMost Voted
- BView the Compliance Reports Manager to identify and download a recent PCI audit
- CView the Security Command Center to identify virtual machines started more than 2 weeks ago
- DView the Compliance Reports Manager to identify and download a recent SOC 1 audit
Correct Answer:
A
A

Using the Security Command Center offers the most precise method to identify virtual machines with outdated security updates. This tool provides insights about the current security state of each machine, specifically highlighting those running vulnerable disk images. This centralized visibility and precise identification enable timely updates, boosting the overall security of your cloud infrastructure.

Question #5
You are currently managing workloads running on Windows Server for which your company owns the licenses. Your workloads are only needed during working hours, which allows you to shut down the instances during the weekend. Your Windows Server licenses are up for renewal in a month, and you want to optimize your license cost.
What should you do?
What should you do?
- ARenew your licenses for an additional period of 3 years. Renew your licenses for an additional period of 3 years. Negotiate a cost reduction with your current hosting provider wherein infrastructure cost is reduced when workloads are not in use
- BRenew your licenses for an additional period of 2 years. Negotiate a cost reduction by committing to an automatic renewal of the licenses at the end of the 2 year period
- CMigrate the workloads to Compute Engine with a bring-your-own-license (BYOL) model
- DMigrate the workloads to Compute Engine with a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) modelMost Voted
Correct Answer:
C
C

Opting for the BYOL (Bring Your Own License) model when migrating workloads to Compute Engine, as indicated in option C, is a sound decision primarily because it allows the utilization of already owned licenses. This approach avoids the typically higher costs associated with PAYG (Pay-As-You-Go) models, which include continuous licensing fees embedded in usage costs. Furthermore, by choosing BYOL, you capitalize on the licenses already acquired, potentially reducing overall expenses significantly, especially since the system needs to operate only during business hours, not around the clock. This strategy aligns perfectly with optimizing license costs while moving to a cloud environment.
