IBM Foundations of IBM Cloud Computing Architecture V4 - C2030-284 Exam Practice Test

A. The cost of resources is incurred only when they are used and for as long as (or how much) they are used. B. It allows for the incremental development of new application features in the cloud, which makes the applications more affordable to manage and operate. C. It is a tool for improving capacity planning and optimizing upfront investments D. It reduces the cost of applications in the cloud because it relies only on a virtualized infrastructure which is cheaper than a physical infrastructure.

A. Fixed pricing:lowering fixed/variable costs and offering known pricing schemes. B. Virtualization:providing more efficient utilization of IT resources and reducing hardware cost through resource consolidations and economies-of-scale. C. Planning: driving better data center planning for building more private data centers. D. Pervasiveness:improving customer experience by enabling services to be accessed fromanywhere, anytime, and on any device. E. Virtualization:abstracting physical resources away from their underlying hardware resources in order to improve IT control.

A. Software as a Service B. Compute as a Service C. Infrastructure as a Service D. Platform as a Service

A. The virtual application model is undefined to include certain components, links, and policies that are available within the selected pattern type and any secondary pattern types that are associated with the selected one. B. The Cloud Enabled Data Center adoption pattern is typically the entry point into the cloud solutions space. C. It allows the definition of objects which are different from normal database objects D. Deploying complex workloads is faster and easier.

A. Rackspace B. IBM BIuemix C. Salesforce.com D. Softlayer

A. Software as a Service B. Business Process as a Service C. Infrastructure as a Service D. Platform as a Service

A. RPO and RTO must be determined. B. The service is planned to be rolled out to the production cloud environment as part of a new release of the cloud management software. C. Service Level Agreements are applied to virtual machines which are dependent on the physical infrastructure on which the virtual machine is hosted. D. A High Availability design must be developed.

A. IBM SoftLayer IMS B. IBM Cloud Orchestrator, IBM Tivoli Netcool Configuration Manager C. IBM Endpoint Manager, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, and IBM SmartCloud Control Desk D. IBM SmartCloud Provisioning, IBM SmartCloud Control Desk, IBM Endpoint Manager

A. It consumes other cloud services by leveraging and enhancing functionality exposed by the cloud service provider. B. It is the individual, organization, or system which consumes service instances deliveredby a particular cloud service. C. It is responsible for the design, testing, implementation, and maintenance of management artifacts specific to a cloud service. D. It can be a consumer of multiple cloud services for their own use.

A. Both are characterized by homogeneous infrastructure connected by high-speed networking such as InfiniBand. B. Both solutions share computing infrastructure that serves multiple applications. C. Both provide compute as a service offerings. D. Both price resource utilization according to hardware characteristics such as CPU, memory, and storage. E. Both have the capability to elastically scale on demand as applications require more computing resources.
