Worked practice questions

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'_

The physical layer typically includes network components, storage and:

  1. Scanners
  2. Servers
  3. Sensors
  4. Speakers
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Servers

1. The physical layer is the actual equipment. 2. Three kinds of component are named. 3. The physical layer typically includes server, storage and network components. 4. So the answer is servers. _Source: NIST SP 800-146, 'Cloud Computing Synopsis and Recommendations'_

Where does the abstraction layer sit relative to the physical layer?

  1. Above it
  2. Below it
  3. Beside it
  4. Behind it
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Above it

1. The abstraction layer is software deployed across the hardware. 2. It depends on the hardware beneath it. 3. Conceptually the abstraction layer sits above the physical layer. 4. So the answer is above it. _Source: NIST SP 800-146, 'Cloud Computing Synopsis and Recommendations'_
