1 Exam C Foundations of IBM Cloud Reference Architecture V5 1. Which cloud computing scenario would benefit from the inclusion of orchestration? A. A customer has a need to adopt lean principles in their development processes. B. A customer has a predominantly analytics-based workload that requires access to on-premises data. C. A customer needs to ensure that their service management systems are integrated into every deployment. D. A customer has a large on-premises virtualization deployment that they need to shift to a cloud service provider. 2. Consider a situation where a core business application and supporting data must remain in a client s data center due to security requirements. The client needs to integrate it with a cloud native application deployed at a cloud service provider. Which hybrid integration pattern is most appropriate? A. Deploy the cloud native application in the client s data center since the client s data center is more secure that a cloud provider. B. Data load since it uses traditional methods of extract, transform and load to replicate data from the client s data center to the cloud over a secure VPN tunnel. C. Hybrid data integration since it uses a combination of data shaping, masking techniques to replicate data from the client s data center to the cloud over a secure connection. D. Hybrid application integration using APIs since the client has complete control of which data can be exposed to the cloud native application and can apply appropriate controls through API management. 3. Which statement is true regarding a hybrid cloud? A. It is owned and operated for use by a single company that controls the

2 virtualized resources and automated services. B. It is provided by a distributed set of machines that are running at different locations while still connected to a single network. C. Hybrid cloud service providers own and operate the infrastructure at their data center and usually offer access only via the Internet. D. It is composed of two or more clouds that remain distinct entities but are bound together and offer the benefits of multiple deployment models. 4. The Director of Development wants his developers to have complete control and flexibility of the application stack used to deliver their applications. Which deployment model should a solution advisor recommend? A. IaaS B. PaaS C. SaaS D. DBaaS 5. Which statement is true about software defined environments? A. Software defined networking provides better performance than traditional networks. B. Software defined compute understands the requirements of workloads, so that it can be mapped to the hardware resources. C. Software defined compute takes a bottom-up approach from stack perspective to build and configure the infrastructure elements of the solution. D. Software defined networking typically involves moving networking applications to virtual machines or containers that run on commodity hardware. 6. Which two functions are the responsibility of the Software Defined Storage control plane? A. encryption B. automation C. provisioning D. virtualization E. RAID protection

3 7. An Infrastructure as a Service cloud provider has a SOC1, SOC2 and ISO27001 audit and has provided copies of the SOC1/SOC2 reports and the ISO Statement of Applicability. All show no findings or exceptions. Which types of workloads may be hosted on the cloud provider s infrastructure based on these reports? A. Unregulated workloads only The clean audit reports do not provide evidence for anything other than workloads with unregulated data. B. Any workload The clean audit reports mean that the infrastructure is well managed and can be used as a platform for any regulated or unregulated workload. C. Public data workloads only The clean audit reports do not provide evidence for anything other than workloads with public information (information that can be lost or breached without penalty or impact). D. Workloads with appropriate additional security controls These audit reports do not provide workload-specific information. Some workloads may require additional information based on the workload specifics. 8. Which open standard works towards enhancing the portability of cloud applications and services? A. OSLC B. SOAP C. MPLS D. TOSCA 9. The 12-Factor application approach outlines a methodology for developers to follow when building modern web-based applications. Which best practice is found in this approach? A. Exploit open-source code and code reuse. B. Focus upon client experience and usability. C. Separation of duties for consumer and provider. D. One codebase tracked in revision control with many deployments. 10. What are three characteristics of a cloud native application? A. stateful B. stateless C. monolithic

4 D. microservices E. tightly coupled F. loosely coupled 11. Which statement describes an Enrichment API? A. Has a high profit margin for the provider. B. Used to detect and predict future anomalies. C. Provides push technology for mobile delivery. D. Uses historical data to improve understanding. 12. Why would a company choose to use containers as part of their cloud strategy? A. Containers can run on more operating systems than virtual machines. B. Containers allow them to use fewer software licenses to run an application. C. Containers allow them to package the whole application and its dependencies in a standardized unit. D. Containers include the hypervisor as part of the image file making them more portable than virtual machines. 13. The image illustrates which type of hybrid cloud topology?

5 A. mixed hybrid B. public hybrid C. on-premises hybrid D. off-premises hybrid 14. When implementing a hybrid cloud strategy including Cloud Managed Services, BlueBox Dedicated and BlueBox Local IaaS solutions, which two sources are potential data sources to include in a hybrid SIEM solution providing analytics on the IaaS-hosted server use? A. firewall management logs B. Box panel authentication logs C. network operations center bandwidth usage logs D. anti-virus for legacy application hosting servers E. local server logs from cloud hosted (virtual) machines 15. How can an organization achieve scale of DevOps adoption across an enterprise with projects and teams with diverse technologies? A. Forming one single team delivering all projects for the enterprise. B. Outsourcing a small project to a vendor that has expertise in DevOps. C. Using a single set of platform services across all enterprise projects. D. Standardization of processes and an integrated toolset across the enterprise. 16. What is an example of the types of repositories offered by cloud providers for big data and analytics solutions? A. Data Quality B. Data Staging C. Real time analytics processing D. Landing, Exploration and Archive 17. What does IBM API Management provide? A. out of the box APIs to a number of SaaS applications B. a configuration, not coding approach to cloud transformation C. self-service API portal for internal and external developers

6 D. secure API connectivity between on premises and cloud applications 18. In the image, which capability should be provided by Component C? A. sync data with apps to leverage the new cloud economy B. expose data securely for developers to build new apps C. IT department orchestration of multiple sources of data D. reliable and secure messaging to connect all applications 19.
