Quantum Computing B. Blockchain C. Edge Computing D. Confidential Computing Correct Answer: B The blockchain is technology that uses cryptography to create a distributed immutable ledger. It is the technical foundation behind cryptocurrency and many other applications. Quantum computing is an emerging technology that uses principles of particle physics to perform computing, which is not what we are looking for. Edge computing moves compute power to Internet of Things (IoT) devices located at the “edge” of the network. Confidential computing is an area of re-search into methods for protecting data in use through the protection provided by a trusted execution environment (TEE), making it an incorrect answer.

Joe is using a virtual server instance running on a public cloud provider and would like to restrict the ports on that server accessible from the Internet. What security control would best allow him to meet this need? A. Geofencing B. Network traffic inspection C. Network firewall D. Network security groups Correct Answer: D Joe would not be able to modify the network firewall rules because those are only available to the cloud provider. Geofencing would restrict the geographic locations from which users may access the servers, which is not Joe’s requirement. Traffic inspection may be used to examine the traffic reaching the instance but is not normally used to create port-based restrictions, making it another incorrect answer. Network security groups however, provide functionality equivalent to network firewalls for cloud-hosted server instances. They allow the restriction of traffic that may reach a server instance, making Network security groups our correct answer. Interested in more practice test questions?

The goal of this move is to provide the cluster with the ability to grow and shrink based upon changing demand. What characteristic of cloud computing is Seth hoping to achieve? A. Scalability B. On-Demand Self-Service C. Elasticity D. Broad Network Access Correct Answer: C The reality is that Seth will likely achieve all of these goals but the most relevant one is elasticity. Elasticity refers to the ability of a system to dynamically grow and shrink based upon the current level of demand. Scalability refers to the ability of a system to grow as demand increases but does not require the ability to shrink. Interested in more practice test questions?
