DES-2T13 Specialist – Cloud Architect, Cloud Infrastructure Exam Questions and Answers

A cloud architect is delivering a knowledge transfer on how to script a service in the Service Catalog that restores a VM. What is the correct order of steps that should be demonstrated?

A cloud design contains multiple hosts that are running a hypervisor. Each host has only two physical 10 Gb network adapters that are aggregated for bandwidth and failover. The physical switch ports for each host are configured as access ports. Each host will support numerous virtual machines and network segments. These virtual machines will communicate with other virtual machines on the same network segments.

Why would overlay networks be required for this design?

You are analyzing the performance data to avoid oversizing of a CI solution. What date and time frame should you use?

Which services are typically offered by cloud service providers?

A company has the following requirements:

Modular building blocks

Scalability

In-house management solution

No physical SAN

What type of infrastructure would meet these requirements?

You have the following requirements for a CMP solution:

Lower acquisition costs of software

Control over deployment of software release cycles

Option to have paid support

What type of CMP solution should you recommend?

As part of the planning process, a cloud architect may use tools to gather data from customer systems. Match each tool with its associated description.

The remaining questions are associated with two cases.

Each case has an introductory, descriptive passage (case text) that describes background information and requirements for a specific cloud based design. And each case has a set of six related, randomized questions. You will need to read the case text in order to answer the related questions correctly.

Given that there are two cases with six scored questions each, the total number of case-based scored questions is 12.

When you display each questions you can easily review the related case text in a pop-up window by clicking on the “Case” icon (shown below)

Case 4

Refer to the exhibit.

Your company is currently using a traditional SAN storage network. The server infrastructure is partially virtualized. There is a public cloud in place that is used to test development and application migration to cloud.

Business requirements:

Consolidate the network, storage, and compute resources

Simplify network management and storage provisioning

Maintain application performance

Need to share resources to reduce cost and improve efficiency

Other considerations:

Monitoring of protection SLAs

All transactions must be logged for auditing review

Users are validated using internal credentials

Refer to Case 4.

You are designing a transformation from Platform 2.0 to cloud. You review the existing infrastructure and

business requirements. You must detect events that can exploit vulnerabilities in the cloud. Which technology

should you select?

A cloud architect is designing a packaged PaaS Solution for an organization. One of the primary concerns of the organization is application portability. What consideration focuses on portability?

You are designing a private cloud to use VLANs to support compute-to-compute connectivity. The IT team has added a requirement to simplify the configuration management within the infrastructure.

What is a limitation related to VLANs for this requirement?

You are tasked with designing a new cloud infrastructure. Match each compute related requirement with its proper category.

As a cloud architect, you are designing a CI solution to ensure that you isolate specific workloads for security.

What should you design for?

Which properties define a cloud environment?

An organization wants to deploy cloud applications using block storage. The architect has included a HCI

solution in the cloud design. Which requirements must have led to including this solution in the design?

You are a cloud architect responsible for designing a multiple availability zone configuration for the

organization’s geographically dispersed clouds. You must provide the ability for services to survive a failure at the data center or site level. The primary requirement is to provide for automated site recovery.

What is a key consideration for automating the setup, failover, and recovery of services at the remote site?

Case 1

Refer to the exhibit.

Your company recently negotiated several contracts with new customers to use its proprietary eCommerce system. As a result, the customer base has grown rapidly, which has introduced several challenges and requirements.

Business requirements:

Applications need to scale quickly

Metrics and reporting to anticipate business trends and efficient use of resources

External customers are looking to license the eCommerce application

Other considerations:

Applications need to be recorded for the public cloud

Address security vulnerabilities for customer data in the cloud

Refer to Case 1.

You are designing a Do-It-Yourself private cloud solution. What is the recommended way to provide

applications the ability to scale quickly?

In a cloud design, an architect has defined a separate trust zone for host management. The hosts will be

running open source hypervisors.

What should be included in the design deliverables to support this separate trust zone?

What is the benefit of Hot Spare disks?
