Worked practice questions

Which cloud deployment model is owned and operated by a single organisation exclusively for its own use, often inside its own datacentres?

  1. Private cloud
  2. Hybrid cloud
  3. Public cloud
  4. Edge cloud
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Private cloud

Private cloud = single-tenant infrastructure for one organisation. Public cloud is multi-tenant managed by a provider (AWS/Azure/GCP). Hybrid combines both. Edge cloud refers to compute closer to end users.

Which architectural property describes a system that continues operating correctly even when individual components fail?

  1. Auto-scaling responsiveness
  2. Fault tolerance
  3. Vertical scalability
  4. Single-tenancy
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Fault tolerance

Fault tolerance = correct behaviour despite component failures, usually achieved by redundancy. Auto-scaling responds to load. Vertical scalability is single-machine growth. Single-tenancy is isolation, not failure tolerance.

Which of these is a fully managed relational database service?

  1. Azure Blob Storage
  2. AWS Lambda
  3. GCP Cloud Pub/Sub
  4. AWS RDS / Azure SQL Database / GCP Cloud SQL
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. AWS RDS / Azure SQL Database / GCP Cloud SQL

RDS, Azure SQL, Cloud SQL all serve up managed relational engines (MySQL / PostgreSQL / SQL Server). Lambda is serverless functions, Blob is object storage, Pub/Sub is messaging.
