Section 1.3 Demonstrate your acquired knowledge about Cloud Concepts & Connectivity Options. This will demonstrate your proficiency for section 1.3 of the Network+ 10-009 objectives. 1 / 25 Which of the following is a characteristic of the Platform as a Service (PaaS) model? It provides pre-configured applications for users to access and use It allows users to build, deploy, and manage applications without managing the underlying infrastructure The cloud provider manages everything from applications to network connectivity Users can only access hosted applications and cannot modify them 2 / 25 Which type of service would you use if you want to outsource the management of your application but still maintain full control over the underlying infrastructure? SaaS IaaS PaaS DaaS 3 / 25 Which of the following deployment models allows organizations to use both private and public cloud services, depending on the workload? Public cloud Private cloud Hybrid cloud Community cloud 4 / 25 What is the key advantage of using a public cloud for hosting applications and services? The organization has complete control over the infrastructure and physical resources It allows businesses to avoid any compliance regulations related to data storage The cloud provider manages and maintains the infrastructure, offering scalability and flexibility It provides guaranteed isolation from other organizations’ resources 5 / 25 Which of the following is typically used to connect on-premise resources to a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in a cloud environment? VPN Internet Gateway NAT Gateway Load Balancer 6 / 25 What is the primary benefit of using a Direct Connect option for cloud connectivity? It encrypts all traffic traveling between the cloud and the on-premise network It provides a high-speed, dedicated, and private connection to cloud services It automatically adjusts network bandwidth to accommodate fluctuating traffic It is a cost-effective solution for low-bandwidth applications 7 / 25 Which cloud service model provides the least control over the infrastructure and software for the customer? PaaS IaaS SaaS DaaS 8 / 25 What is the key benefit of multitenancy in a cloud environment? Each user or organization gets a dedicated physical infrastructure Resources are dynamically allocated to meet individual user needs Multiple customers share the same cloud infrastructure, maximizing resource efficiency Customers can choose which cloud service provider to use 9 / 25 Which of the following terms refers to the ability of a cloud system to automatically provision and de-provision resources based on demand, ensuring optimal performance at all times? Scalability Elasticity Redundancy Reliability 10 / 25 Which of the following terms refers to the ability of a cloud system to handle increasing loads by adding resources to meet demand? Scalability Elasticity Multitenancy Availability 11 / 25 Which of the following cloud models would most likely be used by an organization with sensitive data that requires complete control over security and compliance? Public cloud Private cloud Hybrid cloud Community cloud 12 / 25 Which of the following cloud service models allows developers to create and deploy applications without worrying about underlying hardware or software? IaaS SaaS PaaS FaaS 13 / 25 Which of the following best describes the Software as a Service (SaaS) model? The provider delivers the infrastructure needed to run applications, and customers manage their own software Customers access fully functional applications hosted by the cloud provider, with no need for infrastructure management The provider delivers a platform that enables customers to develop their own applications Customers purchase software licenses to deploy on their own infrastructure 14 / 25 In which cloud service model is the cloud provider responsible for managing the infrastructure, but the customer is responsible for the operating system and software? SaaS IaaS PaaS DaaS 15 / 25 Which of the following is a key advantage of using a hybrid cloud model? It allows organizations to avoid using public cloud resources altogether It offers complete control over all cloud resources and infrastructure It combines on-premise infrastructure with public and/or private cloud resources for flexibility It ensures all data is stored within the public cloud provider's infrastructure 16 / 25 Which of the following is a characteristic of a public cloud deployment model? The cloud infrastructure is operated solely for a single organization The cloud resources are provided and managed by a third-party cloud service provider The cloud provider does not own the physical hardware It provides no access to external cloud services 17 / 25 Which of the following best defines a Virtual Private Network (VPN) in a cloud environment? A private connection that allows communication between multiple public clouds A secure tunnel that connects on-premise networks to cloud resources over the internet A service that encrypts data at rest in cloud storage A monitoring service that checks the status of cloud services 18 / 25 Which of the following cloud connectivity options provides a dedicated, private connection between a company’s on-premise network and cloud resources? VPN Direct Connect Internet Gateway Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) 19 / 25 What is the primary role of an Internet Gateway in a cloud network? To establish a private connection between cloud services and on-premise networks To allow traffic between an Amazon VPC and the public internet To filter malicious traffic from entering the cloud network To assign private IP addresses to cloud instances 20 / 25 Which type of cloud gateway is responsible for managing the translation of internal network IP addresses to public IP addresses in cloud environments? Internet gateway VPN gateway NAT gateway Load balancer 21 / 25 Which of the following best defines a cloud gateway? A point where multiple cloud services are integrated for enhanced security A device that enables communication between on-premise networks and the cloud A service used to encrypt data before it is transmitted to the cloud A type of virtual machine used to monitor and log cloud traffic 22 / 25 Which of the following best describes a Network Security List (NSL) in cloud environments? A list that specifies the encryption methods for cloud resources A set of access rules applied to virtual machines (VMs) and subnets in a cloud network A tool for monitoring cloud traffic for security threats A system used to monitor the performance of cloud applications 23 / 25 What is the primary function of a Network Security Group (NSG) in cloud environments? To manage physical firewall appliances for a cloud network To allow or deny inbound and outbound traffic based on security policies To provide centralized storage for network security logs To deploy security patches to cloud resources automatically 24 / 25 Which of the following best defines a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)? A private network that uses cloud-based resources with access to the internet A cloud service that encrypts traffic between different cloud providers A public cloud with restricted access controlled by the cloud provider A virtualized network isolated within a cloud service provider’s environment 25 / 25 What is the primary purpose of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) in cloud environments? To replace physical hardware with virtualized software for networking tasks To provide secure access to cloud resources through VPNs To scale cloud applications based on demand To improve the network’s availability by duplicating hardware devices Your score is 0% Restart quiz
