Which of the following statements is true for RDS?
Answer : A
In Alibaba Cloud RDS, multiple databases can be created within a single instance, allowing users to manage different databases under one RDS instance efficiently. However, databases within the same instance must have unique names, and resources such as CPU and memory are shared across databases within the same instance, contrary to the options provided in answers B and C.
Many websites have suffered DDoS attacks of different volumes. Therefore, accurate understanding of DDoS attacks is critical to website security protection. Which of the following statements about DDoS attacks is the MOST accurate?
Answer : B
A DDoS attack is a type of cyberattack that aims to exhaust the resources of a target server or network, such as bandwidth, CPU, memory, or disk space, by sending a large amount of malicious traffic or requests. This can cause the server or network to slow down, crash, or become unavailable to legitimate users. A DDoS attack is not intended to steal confidential information, crack passwords, or target databases, although these may be secondary objectives or consequences of some attacks. A DDoS attack is one of the most common and powerful threats to website security, as it can be launched from multiple sources, use various attack methods, and evade traditional defense mechanisms. According to the DDoS Attack Statistics and Trend Report by Alibaba Cloud, the proportion of volumetric attacks at 50Gbps and above has doubled, and the resources exhaustion attack reached a peak value of 3 million QPS in 2020-2021.

The maximum number of connections for an RDS instance depends on ____________.
Answer : A
The maximum number of connections to an RDS instance primarily depends on the memory size of the instance. Higher memory capacity allows for more simultaneous connections, as memory is a key resource in managing and maintaining connections. Alibaba Cloud RDS scales the connection limit based on the instance's memory allocation to ensure stable database performance.
Alibaba Cloud SLB can help distribute traffic among multiple backend servers. Which of the following statements is correct about backend servers?
Answer : A
Alibaba Cloud Server Load Balancer (SLB) is designed to distribute incoming network traffic across multiple ECS instances within Alibaba Cloud, enhancing fault tolerance and application reliability. Backend servers for SLB must be Alibaba Cloud ECS instances, as SLB is specifically optimized to work within the Alibaba Cloud ecosystem. While it does not support instances from other cloud providers, it ensures integration and performance with Alibaba Cloud's ECS instances.
An online education website is built based on ECS. SLB and Auto Scaling, which greatly reduces resource cost, O&M cost and without compromising system stability and user experience.
Now. the website admin wants to keep the user information (such as source IP, accessed URLs, and duration on each page) for analysis to support their upcoming campaign events In this case, which of the following statements is NOT correct?
Answer : A
This statement is not correct because it is not a good practice to store user access information on each ECS instance in the scaling group. This is because the ECS instances are dynamic and can be added or removed by the Auto Scaling service based on the load and demand. Therefore, the data stored on the ECS instances may be lost or inconsistent if the instances are terminated or replaced. Moreover, this approach does not provide a centralized and unified way to access and analyze the data, which may affect the accuracy and efficiency of the analysis. Therefore, it is better to use other services such as ApsaraDB for RDS, ApsaraDB for Memcache, or OSS to store the user access information in a persistent and scalable manner.

A large shopping mall deploys a new video surveillance system. The five-floor building in which the mall is located has installed 35 HD cameras to monitor the major exits. The surveillance system is deployed on an ECS instance, which has four 2 TB data disks to store video data.
However, video data grows so rapidly that the engineers find the ECS will run out of storage space within 2 weeks.
In this case, ___________ product is thought to be the best solution for addressing the storage challenge while ensuring quick access to historical video data when needed.
Answer : C
Alibaba Cloud OSS (Object Storage Service) is the ideal solution for storing large volumes of video data generated by a surveillance system. OSS provides scalable, secure, and cost-effective storage that can accommodate growing data needs without the space limitations of local ECS disks. Additionally, OSS enables easy access to historical data when required, making it well-suited for video storage in use cases like surveillance.
Alibaba Cloud OSS is a cloud storage service that features massive capacity, outstanding security, low costs, and high reliability. When talking about information security, the advantages of using OSS are ____________. (Choose two.)
Answer : C, D
Alibaba Cloud OSS offers Server Side Encryption to protect data at rest, enhancing security. It also supports multi-region replication with Primary/Secondary region configurations for additional data reliability and disaster recovery. Anti-DDoS is not an inherent feature of OSS, and multi-user isolation is achieved via Alibaba Cloud's Resource Access Management (RAM).
