Which of the following are true for IBM Cloud Databases and IBM Cloud Database-as-a-Services? (Select Three)
Answer : A, B, C
IBM Cloud Databases and IBM Cloud Database-as-a-Services (DBaaS) are fully managed by IBM, unless customers specifically request to manage some aspects themselves.
IBM Cloud Databases and DBaaS offers your organization significant financial, operational, and strategic benefits like below:
- Your organization pays a predictable periodic charge based on the resources you consume---there's no need to purchase additional capacity to have on hand for hypothetical future needs.
- You can quickly and easily scale-up and down as per your need.
- They are highly available, secure with IBM enterprise security, compatible with open-source databases, scalable, and economical including features like default encryption of data at rest and in-transit and integrated identity and access management controls. Some also meet specific regulatory compliance standards.
IBM's catalog of database services includes:
1. IBM Cloudant, IBM CloudDatabases for etcd
2. IBM Cloud Databases for MongoDB
3. IBM Cloud Databases for PostgreSQL
4. IBM Cloud Databases for Redis Elasticsearch
Which of following statements are true for IBM Cloud Function? (Select Two)
Answer : A, B
Cloud Functions lets you focus on writing code and building great solutions, without the hassle of setting up, configuring, or maintaining servers. You only pay for the time your code actually runs*, which means no excess capacity or idle time. Cloud Functions scales to fit your exact demand, from once a day to thousands of parallel requests per second.
You can run code for any type of application or backend service, all with zero administration. Invoke your code directly via a REST API, or in response to IBM Cloud services and third-party events.
Because Cloud Functions is open-source and is built around an open ecosystem of event providers, there is never a need to worry about vendor lock-in.
IBM Cloud Function is server less it does not mean Physical infrastructure resources like virtual server, network, storage disks are not required for IBM Cloud Function, because these resources are required and managed by Cloud Provider.
What is a benefit of using IBM Cloud satellite?
Answer : B
IBM Cloud Satellite is IBM's distributed cloud offering. It provides consistency in services and the ability to deploy anywhere. It is a platform service that allows users to deploy IBM Cloud services outside IBM Cloud data centers. IBM Cloud Satellite can run in a client data center, another cloud, or in-edge networks (distributed cloud framework that brings enterprise applications closer to a data source). When an IBM Cloud Satellite location is established, it allows the user to run selected IBM Cloud services in that location.
Which of the following statement best describe Multi Cloud?
Answer : A
Multi Cloud is a combination of two or more cloud services from different cloud providers. In-Correct Answers : Private Cloud : The cloud infrastructure is provisioned for exclusive use by a single organization comprising multiple consumers (e.g., business units). It may be owned, managed, and operated by the organization, a third party, or some combination of them, and it may exist on or off premises. Community Cloud : The cloud infrastructure is provisioned for exclusive use by a specific community of consumers from organizations that have shared concerns (e.g., mission, security requirements, policy, and compliance considerations). It may be owned, managed, and operated by one or more of the organizations in the community, a third party, or some combination of them, and it may exist on or off premises. Public Cloud : The cloud infrastructure is provisioned for open use by the general public. It may be owned, managed, and operated by a business, academic, or government organization, or some combination of them. It exists on the premises of the cloud provider. Hybrid Cloud : The cloud infrastructure is a composition of two or more distinct cloud infrastructures (private, community, or public) that remain unique entities, but are bound together by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and application portability (e.g., cloud bursting for load balancing between clouds).
What are characteristics of Container-based applications?(Select Two)
Answer : A, C
Containers are packages of your software that include everything that it needs to run, including code, dependencies, libraries, binaries, and more. - Container-based applications are faster to load and start. - Container-based applications can easily create purpose-built microservices.
What is an example of cloud native application built with a microservice approach?
Answer : C
Cloud native refers less to where an application resides and more to how it is built and deployed. Most organizations using containerized microservices also use a container orchestration platform, such as kubernetes, to automate container deployment and management at scale. Cloud native applications are built to operate only in the cloud. Developers design cloud native applications to be scalable, platform agnostic, and comprised of microservices.
Which type of storage is used in a database application that needs consistent fast access to disk?
Answer : A
Block storage, sometimes referred to as block-level storage, is a technology that is used to store data files on Storage Area Networks (SANs) or cloud-based storage environments. Developers favor block storage for computing situations where they require fast, efficient, and reliable data transportation.
