Cloud+ V3 Elastic IP and Static IP Quiz

1. A Static IP assigned to an Azure VM belongs to which resource?

The virtual machine directly

The network interface (NIC)

The subnet

The resource group

2. True or False: Static IPs in Azure are automatically released when a VM is deallocated.

True

False

3. A company's on-premises firewall must allow traffic from a cloud-based web server. What IP addressing strategy is essential?

Dynamic IP with frequent updates to firewall rules

Static/Elastic IP to maintain consistent allowlist entries

Private IP only with VPN tunnel

Anycast IP for global distribution

4. Which cloud service model typically requires Static/Elastic IP assignment?

Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) only

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) for servers

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) only

All models equally

5. True or False: Elastic IPs are specific to a single AWS region and cannot be moved across regions.

True

False

Submit

8. When migrating a production service to the cloud, why is IP consistency important?

It reduces cloud provider fees

It maintains firewall allowlists and DNS configurations

It automatically improves application performance

It eliminates the need for backups

9. Which of the following are benefits of Static IP assignment? Select all that apply.

Simplified firewall rules

Improved DNS reliability

Guaranteed lower latency

Predictable billing

Submit

10. True or False: You can assign multiple Elastic IPs to a single EC2 instance simultaneously.

True

False

11. What is an Elastic IP address in AWS?

A public IP that changes when an instance stops

A static public IP that persists across instance stop/start cycles

A private IP reserved for internal communication only

A temporary IP valid for only 24 hours

12. In a high-availability setup, how should you handle IP addressing for failover?

Use dynamic IPs for all instances

Assign Elastic/Static IPs and reassociate during failover

Rely solely on DNS without static IPs

Implement separate IP ranges per region

13. What happens when you disassociate an Elastic IP from an EC2 instance?

The instance receives a new public IP automatically

The instance loses all network connectivity

The Elastic IP returns to the pool for reallocation

The instance converts to a private-only configuration

14. Which scenario best requires an Elastic IP assignment?

A test instance that runs for one hour

A mail server that must maintain consistent IP for DNS records

A temporary data processing job

A development environment with frequent teardowns

15. True or False: Static IPs in cloud environments incur additional charges even when not actively used.

True

False

16. In Azure, what is the process called when you assign a static public IP to a VM?

IP pinning

Static IP allocation

IP reservation

Address binding

17. An Elastic IP in AWS can be associated with which of the following? Select all that apply.

EC2 instances

Network interfaces

RDS databases

Lambda functions

Submit

18. What is the primary advantage of using Elastic IPs in production environments?

They reduce monthly cloud costs by 50%

They enable consistent DNS resolution and service continuity

They automatically encrypt all traffic

They eliminate the need for load balancers

19. True or False: A Static IP address automatically reassigns to a new instance when the original instance terminates.

True

False

20. Which cloud provider term is equivalent to AWS Elastic IP?

Azure Static IP

Google Cloud Reserved IP

Both A and B are equivalent

Neither provider offers this feature
