Free Practice Questions for the Huawei HCIA-Cloud Service H13-811_V3.5 Exam (2026 Updated)

Scalable File Service (SFS) is the precise Huawei Cloud service for this workload. The wording in the question closely follows Huawei's official media processing application scenario for SFS. Huawei specifically lists streaming media, archiving, editing, transcoding, content distribution, and video on demand as representative media-processing workloads.

The decisive requirement is that multiple hosts must access the same media files concurrently. SFS provides shared file storage that can be mounted by multiple ECSs or other supported compute resources through standard file protocols. Applications then interact with the storage through normal directories and file-system semantics. This eliminates the need to redesign media-processing applications around object-storage APIs.

OBS is highly scalable and well suited to object storage, content distribution, archive, and VOD data, but applications access OBS through HTTP/HTTPS, APIs, or SDKs rather than through a conventional shared filesystem. EVS provides block storage and generally must be attached to a server; ordinary EVS is not the direct multi-host shared file-system solution. Huawei's storage-selection guidance identifies SFS specifically for media processing and file sharing.

Therefore, B. SFS best satisfies the shared-media workflow.

A → 2

B → 1

C → 3

The mappings follow Huawei Cloud's system-defined authorization model for Bare Metal Server. BMS CommonOperations provides operational permissions required for routine server administration. Huawei explicitly identifies starting, stopping, restarting, and querying BMS instances as operations permitted under the common-operations permission set. It therefore maps to permission 2.

BMS FullAccess represents administrator-level access to the BMS service. It permits operations that CommonOperations and ReadOnlyAccess cannot perform, including higher-impact lifecycle and configuration operations. Huawei Cloud's BMS permission matrix shows that reinstalling a BMS operating system is supported by FullAccess but not by CommonOperations or ReadOnlyAccess. Consequently, BMS FullAccess maps to permission 1.

BMS ReadOnlyAccess is intended for users who need visibility into BMS resources without authority to modify them. It permits users to query and view BMS information, including server lists and instance details, but does not authorize lifecycle actions such as starting, stopping, restarting, or reinstalling an operating system. It therefore maps to permission 3.

The verified mapping is CommonOperations → routine operations; FullAccess → OS reinstallation; ReadOnlyAccess → viewing BMS information .

Reference topics: Bare Metal Server Permissions; IAM Authorization for BMS; System-Defined BMS Policies.

Option B is incorrect . Huawei Cloud explicitly requires subnet CIDR blocks within the same VPC to be unique and not overlap . Allowing overlapping subnets would make local route selection ambiguous and create address conflicts inside the VPC. Huawei's subnet definition therefore states that subnets in a VPC cannot overlap with each other.

Option A is correct for subnet planning: Huawei advises users to plan subnet address ranges carefully because a subnet's CIDR block cannot be changed after creation. This is why future capacity requirements should be considered before allocating subnet prefixes.

Option C is also consistent with Huawei's VPC definition. A subnet represents a unique CIDR block containing an IP address range inside a VPC, and VPC resources requiring private networking are deployed into these subnets. Option D is correct because the subnet CIDR must fall within the VPC's address range. Huawei's network-planning guidance explicitly states that the subnet CIDR block must be within the VPC CIDR block and that subnet CIDR blocks in the VPC must be unique.

Thus, the only incorrect planning statement is B .

===============

The statement is TRUE . Huawei Cloud distinguishes ordinary EVS disks from shared EVS disks . A standard non-shared EVS disk can normally be attached to only one server at a time, whereas a shared disk is specifically designed so that multiple supported servers can access the same block-storage device. Huawei documentation states that a shared EVS disk can be attached to multiple servers simultaneously, with supported implementations allowing attachment to as many as 16 servers.

The deletion requirement is equally explicit. A shared EVS disk cannot remain attached to any server when the disk itself is being deleted. Huawei requires administrators to detach the shared disk from all servers before deletion . If the disk is attached to several servers and is detached from only some of them, it remains in the In-use state. Only after it has been detached from every server does its state return to Available, permitting subsequent deletion operations.

Huawei additionally cautions that shared block storage does not itself provide cluster coordination. Appropriate cluster software or shared-file-system mechanisms must manage simultaneous reads and writes to prevent corruption.

Thus, both parts of the question precisely reflect Huawei Cloud's EVS shared-disk lifecycle requirements.

===============

1 → No configuration is required

2 → Configure a VPC peering connection

3 → Create a VPN

The mappings follow Huawei Cloud's VPC connectivity rules. ECS-C and ECS-D are deployed in the same VPC , so their private network traffic can use the VPC's internal routing directly. Provided the applicable security-group rules allow the traffic, no additional VPC interconnection mechanism is required.

ECS-A and ECS-B are in different VPCs but in the same CN North-Beijing4 region. Huawei Cloud VPC peering is specifically designed to connect two VPCs in the same region using private IP addresses. Huawei documentation states that VPC peering is region-scoped and enables resources in the two peered VPCs to communicate after the required routes are configured.

ECS-A and ECS-C are located in different regions. The HCIA V3.5 networking design uses VPN for this scenario. Huawei's official VPN documentation specifically describes establishing VPN gateways and VPN connections between two VPCs in different regions, providing an encrypted communication channel across the Internet.

Therefore, the required sequence is same VPC → no additional configuration; same-region different VPCs → peering; cross-region VPCs → VPN .

Reference topics: VPC Communication; VPC Peering; VPN; Intra-VPC Networking.

===============

KooSearch is the Huawei Cloud service specifically designed to provide enterprise-grade search capabilities with an out-of-the-box service model. Huawei Cloud describes KooSearch as a one-stop intelligent enterprise search solution built on Cloud Search Service (CSS). It enables organizations to construct enterprise search, knowledge retrieval, AI search, and document Q & A applications without having to independently build the underlying search infrastructure. The service integrates enterprise knowledge sources, search models, vector search capabilities, and other components required for enterprise information retrieval.

This directly corresponds to the question's description of an out-of-the-box search service designed for enterprise digitalization . Huawei's current KooSearch documentation explicitly emphasizes its ready-to-use enterprise search and RAG capabilities. KooPhone is associated with cloud-phone capabilities, KooMessage concerns enterprise messaging and communication, and KooMap provides map-related services; none is the dedicated enterprise search offering.

Therefore, KooSearch is the only technically valid choice . This aligns with the HCIA-Cloud Service domain covering Huawei Cloud platform and other value-added cloud services.

===============

Statements B and C are false . Huawei Cloud distinguishes alarm-based, scheduled, and periodic Auto Scaling policies. An alarm policy triggers a scaling operation in response to monitored metrics such as CPU utilization. Scaling “every three hours” is time-interval behavior and therefore belongs to a periodic policy , not an alarm policy. This makes B incorrect.

Statement C is also incorrect. The expected number of instances is the desired number of ECS instances that should currently run within an AS group. Huawei specifies that this value must remain between the configured minimum and maximum instance counts. It can be modified manually or changed through scheduled, periodic, or alarm-based policies. It is not synonymous with the minimum instance count during peak hours.

Statement A is valid because an AS configuration can use a Huawei Cloud public image; Huawei's AS configuration parameters explicitly support public, private, and shared images.

Statement D is also valid. Huawei specifies that when an existing ECS is manually added to an AS group, the ECS must not already be a member of another AS group .

Consequently, the two false statements are B and C .

Reference topics: Auto Scaling Configurations; AS Policies; Expected Instances; AS Groups.

===============

Option D is incorrect . The HCIA-Cloud Service V3.5 comparison positions SFS Capacity-Oriented as the large-capacity, high-bandwidth, cost-sensitive file-storage option. Huawei describes its principal advantages as large capacity, high bandwidth, and low cost , making it particularly appropriate for media processing, large-scale file sharing, HPC, and backup workloads.

The performance characteristics also support A and B. Huawei's documented SFS Capacity-Oriented implementation provides substantially greater maximum aggregate bandwidth than the previous-generation SFS Turbo Standard class. However, its access latency is approximately 3–20 ms , whereas SFS Turbo Standard provides lower latency, historically around 2–5 ms . SFS Turbo is therefore more appropriate where low-latency access and workloads involving large numbers of small files are important.

Capacity-Oriented storage can scale to petabyte-scale capacities and is specifically optimized economically for large-volume storage. Consequently, for equivalent expenditure, it can provide significantly greater capacity than performance-oriented SFS Turbo configurations.

Option D reverses this economic relationship. SFS Capacity-Oriented is not positioned as the more expensive alternative for equal capacity; low cost at large scale is one of its defining characteristics .

===============

The statement is TRUE . Huawei Cloud Image Management Service supports creating private images from external image files, with OBS serving as the staging storage location for those files. The documented workflow is to prepare the source image, upload the image file to an appropriate OBS bucket, and then register or import that file through IMS as a private image.

Huawei's IMS documentation explicitly describes the scenario as registering an image file that has been uploaded to an OBS bucket as a private image . During image creation, the administrator selects Import Image or Image File as the source, selects the OBS bucket containing the prepared file, and then selects the required file.

Supported formats and detailed constraints depend on the image type and import method. For example, standard system-disk image imports and optimized fast-import workflows have specific requirements concerning image formats, file size, operating system, and bucket storage class. However, these restrictions do not change the fundamental integration represented in the question.

OBS therefore provides object storage for the source image file, while IMS performs image registration and lifecycle management. The resulting private image can subsequently be used to provision identically configured ECS instances.

===============

The supported notification methods represented in this question are SMS and email , so the correct selections are A and D .

Huawei Cloud CTS supports key event notification for significant operations. Administrators can identify operations that require immediate awareness and configure notification delivery through Simple Message Notification (SMN). When the configured key event occurs, CTS works with SMN to deliver the corresponding notification to subscribed recipients.

Huawei's official CTS documentation specifically states that SMN can send key-event messages to users' mobile phones or email addresses . A notification sent to a mobile phone in this context corresponds to SMS messaging. Email subscriptions similarly deliver the notification to the registered email endpoint.

This mechanism provides proactive visibility into sensitive cloud operations rather than requiring administrators to continually query CTS records. Typical use cases include monitoring resource deletion, security configuration changes, permission-related operations, or other high-risk administrative actions.

Neither WeChat nor a conventional phone call is identified by Huawei CTS as one of the notification methods in this key-event mechanism. Those options therefore do not satisfy the documented CTS notification workflow.

Reference topics: CTS Key Event Notification; Simple Message Notification; Operation Auditing; O & M Notifications.

===============

The major CTS functions represented by the options are trace recording, trace query, and trace transfer , making A, B, and D correct.

Trace recording captures operations performed through the Huawei Cloud management console, through APIs, and operations initiated by supported cloud services. These records provide an audit trail containing information such as the operator, operation time, resource, operation result, and associated request data.

Trace query allows administrators and auditors to search recent operational records on the CTS console using criteria such as trace source, resource type, operator, trace status, and operation type. This is essential for security auditing, compliance investigation, and troubleshooting.

Trace transfer provides longer-term retention and centralized analysis. CTS can package operation records into trace files and transfer them to supported destinations such as OBS or LTS for preservation and subsequent processing.

Option C, OS monitoring , does not belong to CTS. Operating-system performance monitoring is primarily a Cloud Eye/server-monitoring capability rather than an audit-trace function.

Huawei's official CTS documentation expressly identifies recording, querying, and transfer among its core service functions.

Reference topics: Cloud Trace Service; Trace Recording; Trace Query; Trace Transfer; Cloud Auditing.

===============

For the HCIA-Cloud Service V3.5 snapshot model represented by this question, the statement is FALSE. Huawei Cloud's exam-era EVS documentation states that an EVS snapshot captures the state of a disk at a specific point in time and can be used for rollback or creation of another disk. However, the snapshot is dependent on its source EVS disk.

Huawei's earlier official EVS documentation explicitly states that when an EVS disk is deleted, the disk data and snapshots created for that disk are also deleted. The applicable documentation also states that when a snapshot's source disk is deleted, all snapshots of that source disk are deleted.

This distinction matters because Huawei has subsequently introduced standard snapshots stored in OBS, for which newer lifecycle behavior can differ. Current documentation distinguishes legacy snapshots from standard snapshots: legacy snapshots are deleted with the source disk, whereas newer standard snapshots may remain. However, HCIA V3.5 questions were written around the earlier EVS snapshot behavior.

Accordingly, the proposition that deleting an EVS disk does not delete its snapshots contradicts the V3.5-era model.

Reference topics: EVS Snapshots; Snapshot Lifecycle; EVS Disk Deletion; Point-in-Time Recovery.

===============

Option A is incorrect because Huawei Cloud Auto Scaling is designed to automatically adjust ECS instances and bandwidth resources , not Bare Metal Server instances. Huawei's AS documentation defines an AS group as a collection of ECS instances and states that scaling actions add or remove ECS instances according to alarm, scheduled, or periodic policies. BMS provides dedicated physical compute and is provisioned through the BMS service rather than being dynamically created and destroyed by an ECS Auto Scaling group.

The other relationships are valid. Cloud Eye supports BMS operating-system monitoring after the Cloud Eye Agent is installed; the BMS reports detailed CPU, memory, disk, and network metrics to Cloud Eye. EVS is integrated with BMS and additional supported EVS data disks can be attached when more storage is required. IMS is likewise an integral BMS service: images can be used to create consistently configured BMSs and to reinstall or change their operating systems, reducing repetitive deployment work. Huawei's BMS architecture explicitly lists VPC, IMS, EVS, Cloud Eye, and backup services as integrations supporting BMS operation.

===============

The statement is false . Huawei Cloud ECS supports multiple billing models, and cost optimization is not exclusive to pay-per-use billing. The principal modes include yearly/monthly, pay-per-use, and spot pricing , with each optimized for different workload characteristics.

Pay-per-use is useful for workloads with uncertain or fluctuating demand because resources are billed according to actual usage and can be released when no longer required. However, yearly/monthly billing can provide a lower effective price for stable, long-running workloads because Huawei Cloud applies subscription discounts; the longer the committed subscription period, the greater the potential discount. Therefore, for predictable production workloads running continuously, yearly/monthly billing can be substantially more economical than pay-per-use.

Spot pricing is another cost-saving mechanism. Spot instances use market-based pricing and can provide compute resources at a lower price where workload interruption characteristics permit their use. Consequently, several ECS billing models can reduce expenditure when aligned to an appropriate workload.

The incorrect portion of the statement is therefore the assertion that only pay-per-use can reduce costs .

Reference topics: Elastic Cloud Server; ECS Billing Modes; Yearly/Monthly; Pay-per-Use; Spot Pricing.

===============

The statement is FALSE . Huawei Cloud explicitly supports using VPN to establish communication between VPCs deployed in different regions . The Huawei Cloud VPC FAQ describes this architecture directly: VPCs in the same region can be connected by VPC peering, while VPCs in different regions can establish connectivity through VPN. In the VPN design, each VPC uses a VPN gateway, and the two gateways establish an encrypted connection over the Internet. The VPC CIDR blocks are configured as the local and remote subnets.

This distinction is central to the HCIA V3.5 networking domain. VPC peering is region-scoped : two VPCs connected through a peering connection must reside in the same region. VPN, by contrast, can establish encrypted connectivity between geographically separated VPC networks. Huawei's VPN documentation specifies creating a VPN gateway for each VPC, creating VPN connections, configuring the peer gateway EIP, defining peer subnets, and applying matching cryptographic parameters.

Consequently, saying that Huawei Cloud VPN “does not support” cross-region VPC communications directly contradicts the supported VPN deployment model.
