Question 1
Cloud Provider X has deployed a virtualization environment in Cloud X comprised of
Physical Server A hosting Virtual Servers A and B.
Cloud Provider X implements Cloud
Service A on Virtual Server A and makes it available to Cloud Service Consumer A, which
interacts with Cloud Service A by sending and receiving messages (1, 2).
Cloud Provider Y has deployed a virtualization environment comprised of Physical Server B
hosting Virtual Servers C and D.
Virtual Server C is made available to Cloud Service
Consumer B, which interacts with Virtual Server C (3,4) in order to prepare for the
deployment of a new cloud service that will be used internally by Cloud Provider Y to
process data obtained from Cloud Service A.
Cloud X is administered by a group of organizations and makes Cloud Service A available
only to cloud service consumers from that group. Cloud Consumer Z belongs to one of the
organizations within this group. Cloud Y and Cloud Consumer Z are owned by the same
organization. Which of the following statements provides a valid scenario that accurately
describes the involvement of cloud deployment models, cloud delivery models, roles and/or
boundaries? (Note that the correct answer represents one of multiple valid scenarios that
can exist.)

Correct Answer: D
Question 2
Cloud Provider X (which owns Cloud X) deploys two physical servers (Physical Servers A
and B) and two databases (Databases A and B). Virtual Servers A and B are hosted by
Physical Server A and Ready-Made Environments A and B are hosted by Virtual Server B.
Virtual Servers C and D are hosted by Physical Server B.
Cloud Service Consumer A regularly accesses Virtual Server D in order to test and deploy a new cloud service that
was developed on-premise by the cloud consumer organization operating Cloud Service
Consumer A.
Cloud Service Consumer B (operated by a different cloud consumer organization) has been regularly accessing Ready-Made Environment A in order to develop
and deploy a different new cloud service.
Cloud X is a private cloud that, to-date, has been set up within the cloud provider company
to provision IT resources free of charge to internal cloud consumers, via PaaS and IaaS
delivery models. The cloud consumers that have been operating Cloud Service Consumers
A and B represent different IT departments within the company that have been working
separately on the development of new cloud services. Cloud Service Consumer A has
been accessing Virtual Server D to make necessary configurations and administration
settings for the upcoming deployment of a new cloud service that was previously
developed outside of Cloud X.
Cloud Service Consumer B has been accessing Ready-
Made Environment A to develop and now deploy a different new cloud service.
Cloud Provider X (which is represented by a separate IT department dedicated to
governing and administering Cloud X) determines that it will need to introduce three
specific enhancements to Cloud X in order to accommodate both upcoming cloud services.
First, it needs to add a way to charge cloud consumers for the usage of cloud services.
Secondly, it needs to add a way for new cloud services to be automatically scaled. Finally,
it needs to add a way for a cloud consumer to be automatically notified when a cloud
service encounters runtime loads that exceed its allocated usage threshold.
Which of the following statements accurately describes a solution that fulfills all three
identified requirements?

Correct Answer: B
Question 3
A cloud consumer is interested in leasing cloud-based virtual servers. It compares the
virtual servers offered by Cloud Provider X and Cloud Provider Y.
Cloud X (owned by Cloud Provider X) and Cloud Y (owned by Cloud Provider Y) both provide shared physical
servers that host multiple virtual servers for other cloud consumers.
The virtual servers on Cloud X are accessed directly, whereas the virtual servers on Cloud
Y are accessed via an automated scaling listener. On Cloud X, virtual servers are pre-
configured to support a specific amount of concurrent cloud service consumers. When this
threshold is exceeded, cloud service consumer requests are rejected. Due to the use of the
automated scaling listener, virtual servers on Cloud Y can provide a greater level of
elasticity.
The hourly cost to the cloud consumer to use a virtual server on Cloud X is half that of the
cost to use a virtual server on Cloud Y.
Within a one month period, Cloud Provider X bases its hourly charge on the maximum number of virtual servers used. Within a one month
period, Cloud Provider Y bases its hourly charges on actual virtual server usage. Cloud
Provider Y charges $20 for each hour that a cloud consumer uses a virtual server.
The cloud consumer predicts its monthly usage requirements to be as follows:
The cloud consumer is required choose the cloud provider with the lowest on-going cost
based on its predicted usage. Which of the following statements accurately calculates the
on-going usage costs of Cloud Providers X and Y and correctly states the cloud provider
that the cloud consumer must choose?
