Sample questions

Two of this exam's original questions, with the explanation you get after every answer.

Sample 1Select one

A retail company buys enough on-premises servers to handle its Black Friday peak. For the rest of the year, most of that hardware sits idle. Which advantage of cloud computing directly addresses this problem?

  • AStop guessing capacity
  • BGo global in minutes
  • CBenefit from massive economies of scale
  • DIncrease speed and agility
Show answer & explanation

Correct: A. With the cloud you can scale up and down on demand instead of provisioning for a peak you have to guess in advance, which is the 'stop guessing capacity' advantage. Economies of scale explain lower prices, while global reach and agility do not solve idle peak capacity.

Sample 2Select 2

Which problems does the cloud advantage 'stop guessing capacity' help a company avoid? (Select TWO.)

  • AHaving to encrypt data at rest
  • BPaying for idle resources because servers were over-provisioned
  • CPoor performance because too little capacity was provisioned for an unexpected peak
  • DHaving to choose an AWS Region
  • EPaying license fees for commercial databases
Show answer & explanation

Correct: B, C. Guessing capacity up front leads either to expensive idle capacity (over-provisioning) or to limited capacity during peaks (under-provisioning); with on-demand scaling you avoid both. Encryption, Region choice, and software licensing are unrelated to capacity planning.
