    Google Docs is a type of Cloud Computing

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Google Docs is a type of cloud computing because it is a web-based application that allows users to create, edit, and store documents online. Cloud computing refers to the delivery of computing services over the internet, where users can access and use applications and store data on remote servers instead of on their local devices. Google Docs operates entirely in the cloud, allowing users to access their documents from any device with an internet connection. Therefore, it can be classified as a type of cloud computing.

    Which of these should a company consider before implementing cloud computing technology?

    • Employee satisfaction

    • Potential cost reduction

    • Information sensitivity

    • All of the above All of the above All of the above All the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above All of the above All of the above All the above
    Explanation
    Before implementing cloud computing technology, a company should consider employee satisfaction, potential cost reduction, and information sensitivity. Employee satisfaction is important because the technology may require training and adjustment for employees, so their satisfaction and comfort with the change should be considered. Potential cost reduction is a key factor as cloud computing can offer cost savings compared to traditional IT infrastructure. Lastly, information sensitivity is crucial as the company needs to assess the level of security and privacy required for their data and ensure that the chosen cloud provider can meet those requirements.

    • A cloud service inaccessible to anyone but the cultural elite

    • Option 4

    Correct Answer
    A. A cloud architecture maintained within an enterprise data center
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "A cloud architecture maintained within an enterprise data center." This answer explains that a private cloud refers to a cloud infrastructure that is managed and operated within an organization's own data center. Unlike public clouds, private clouds are not accessible to the general public and are typically used by businesses or organizations that prioritize data privacy and security.

    What is the number one concern about cloud computing?

    • Too expensive

    • Security concerns

    • Too many platforms

    • Accessability

    Correct Answer
    A. Security concerns
    Explanation
    Cloud computing has become increasingly popular in recent years, but it also raises concerns about the security of sensitive data. Storing data on remote servers and relying on third-party providers for infrastructure and services can make organizations vulnerable to cyber attacks and data breaches. Therefore, the number one concern about cloud computing is security concerns, as organizations need to ensure that their data is protected and that proper security measures are in place to mitigate any potential risks.

    A. Internet
    Explanation
    In the context of cloud computing, the term "cloud" represents the internet. Cloud computing refers to the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than using a local server or personal computer. The term "cloud" is used metaphorically to represent the vast and interconnected nature of the internet, where data and services can be accessed from anywhere and at any time. Therefore, the correct answer is "Internet."

    • DevOps

    • Option 4

    Correct Answer
    A. DevOps
    Explanation
    DevOps is the correct answer because it refers to the emerging IT function that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops). With the ability to write and manage applications and infrastructure in the cloud, DevOps aims to streamline and automate the processes involved in software development and deployment. It emphasizes collaboration, communication, and integration between development teams and operations teams, resulting in faster and more efficient software delivery.

    What is Cloud Computing replacing?  

    • Corporate data centers

    • Expensive personal computer hardware

    • Expensive software upgrades

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Cloud computing is replacing all of the options mentioned in the question. It is replacing corporate data centers by providing a more efficient and cost-effective way to store and manage data. It is also replacing expensive personal computer hardware as cloud services allow users to access applications and data remotely, eliminating the need for powerful hardware. Additionally, it is replacing expensive software upgrades as cloud computing offers software as a service (SaaS), allowing users to access the latest versions of software without the need for costly upgrades.

    Amazon Web Services is which type of cloud computing distribution model?

    • Software as a service

    • Platform as a service

    • Infrastructure as a service

    • Option 4

    Correct Answer
    A. Infrastructure as a service
    Explanation
    Amazon Web Services (AWS) is an example of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing distribution model. In IaaS, the cloud provider offers virtualized computing resources such as servers, storage, and networking infrastructure to users over the internet. Users can manage and control their own operating systems, applications, and data, while the cloud provider is responsible for the underlying infrastructure. AWS provides a wide range of infrastructure services, allowing users to scale their resources up or down as needed, without the need to invest in physical hardware.
