Kayla has been tasked with migrating a physical server to the cloud service provider that Fictional Corp uses. Which of the following will allow her to perform that migration?

Fictional Corp has decided to migrate much of its on-premises data center to a cloud service provider to take advantage of some of the benefits of cloud computing. The benefit that they found the most important was the ability to expand and grow (or shrink) as needed without any delay due to shipping and installing the hardware required for an on-premises data center.

Which of the following was set too high in this configuration?

Frederick is trying to deploy a number of new virtual machines to a new private cloud that his company has just built in their data center. He knows that he needs to configure the virtual machines to have multiple vCPUs, but he also knows that the number of vCPUs needed outnumbers the actual number of total logical cores available on the physical servers. Which of the following might describe one of the concepts he could implement in this scenario?

Juan is implementing automation processes into some of the cloud infrastructure that his organization uses. Which of the following terms best describes the design, development, and optimization of these automation tools?

Terry has noticed in the configuration management database that one of the servers that acts as a host for multiple virtual machines is no longer covered by the manufacturer's warranty. He gets a replacement with a lot more capacity installed and migrates the guest machines to the new host. What type of migration would this be considered?

Greg is deploying a new application that will originally have 1 terabyte of disk space allocated to storing user files. However, since it is a new application, he is unsure how quickly the disk space may fill up and need to grow to accommodate new files. Which of the following cloud features should he ensure is configured correctly so as not to cause any errors to be displayed to users about the storage space being full?

Ned is working on implementing an open-source container management service because it has some orchestration features that his organization would really benefit from. Which of the following is a possible solution that he may be working with?

Roz is configuring new virtual machines in the company's private cloud. She knows that the virtual machines need a total of 512 GiB of memory. However, the physical machine that she's deploying them to only has 256 GiB installed.

Jana is trying to optimize the cloud infrastructure of her organization for availability. She wants to ensure that the virtual machines that normally use a certain amount of memory have the ability to use more physical memory up to a predefined level in cases of heavy workloads. Which of the following features should she look at configuring?

Darren has been using Kubernetes for container managementwith the deployments his company has been using on the Google Cloud Platform. However, he is now being told that the company is going to be migrating to a different container management platform with Azure and AWS.

Homer has just changed the public IP address on one of the virtual machines residing on the cloud service provider his company uses.

Frank is configuring a virtual machine that will reside on a CSP's infrastructure that will eventually need multiple terabytes of storage for data. However, he decides to only configure it with one terabyte in the beginning and then provision more disk space as necessary. Which of the following is the most likely reason for his decision?

Margaret has designed an application and the underlying systems that it resides on to have a five-nine uptime, or 99.999%. Which of the following techniques has she implemented?

A server in one of Fictional Corp's branch offices is starting to generate warning messages that a piece of hardware is starting to experience issues and may fail soon. The company keeps the server on-premises for that location due to an unreliable Internet connection and thus cannot move it to the cloud because the office heavily relies on that server.
