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.

Cloud infrastructure is viewed as containing an abstraction layer and a:

  1. Physical layer
  2. Political layer
  3. Portable layer
  4. Personal layer
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Physical layer

1. The infrastructure is described in two parts. 2. One is the software, the other is the equipment. 3. Cloud infrastructure can be viewed as containing both a physical layer and an abstraction layer. 4. So the answer is a physical layer. _Source: NIST SP 800-146, 'Cloud Computing Synopsis and Recommendations'_
