NEW QUESTION # 94
An organization requires the following to be achieved between the finance and marketing departments:
Allow HTTPS/HTTP.
Disable FTP and SMB traffic.
Which of the following is the MOST suitable method to meet the requirements?

  • A. Configure on-demand routing between the VLANs
  • B. Configure an ACL between the VLANs
  • C. Implement an ADC solution to load balance the VLAN traffic
  • D. Implement 802.1X in these VLANs

Answer: B

Explanation:
An access control list (ACL) is a set of rules that defines which traffic is allowed or denied between different network segments or devices. An ACL can be used to filter traffic based on various criteria, such as source and destination addresses, ports, protocols, and applications. Configuring an ACL between the VLANs of the finance and marketing departments is the most suitable method to meet the requirements of allowing HTTPS/HTTP and disabling FTP and SMB traffic. An ACL can specify which ports and protocols are permitted or blocked between the VLANs, such as allowing port 80 (HTTP) and port 443 (HTTPS), and denying port 21 (FTP) and port 445 (SMB).

NEW QUESTION # 103
A cloud administrator has deployed a new VM. The VM cannot access the Internet or the VMs on any other subnet. The administrator runs a network command and sees the following output:

The new VM can access another VM at 172.16.31.39. The administrator has verified the IP address is correct.
Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the connectivity issue?

  • A. A duplicate IP on the network
  • B. A missing static route
  • C. The wrong gateway
  • D. Firewall issues

Answer: C

Explanation:
Explanation
The wrong gateway is the most likely cause of the connectivity issue for the new VM that cannot access the Internet or the VMs on any other subnet. A gateway is a device or software that connects two or more networks and routes traffic between them. A gateway is usually configured as the default route for a network device, which means that any traffic that is not destined for the local network will be sent to the gateway. If the gateway is configured incorrectly, the network device will not be able to communicate with other networks or the Internet. In this case, the new VM has an IP address of 172.16.31.40/24, which means that its subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and its network ID is 172.16.31.0. However, its gateway is configured as 172.16.30.1, which belongs to a different network (172.16.30.0/24). This means that the new VM will not be able to reach its gateway or any other network through it. The administrator should change the gateway to an IP address that belongs to the same network as the new VM, such as 172.16.31.1 or 172.16.31.254.


NEW QUESTION # 104
A cloud administrator is configuring several security appliances hosted in the private laaS environment to forward the logs to a central log aggregation solution using syslog. Which of the following firewall rules should the administrator add to allow the web servers to connect to the central log collector?

  • A. Allow UDP 161 outbound from the web servers to the log collector .
  • B. Allow TCP 514 outbound from the web servers to the log collector.
  • C. Allow UDP 161 inbound from the log collector to the web servers .
  • D. Allow TCP 514 inbound from the log collector to the web servers .

Answer: B

Explanation:
Explanation
As mentioned in the question, the security appliances are using syslog to forward the logs to a central log aggregation solution. According to the web search results, syslog is a protocol that runs over UDP port 514 by default, or TCP port 6514 for secure and reliable transport1. However, some implementations of syslog can also use TCP port 514 for non-secure transport2. Therefore, to allow the web servers to connect to the central log collector using syslog over TCP, the firewall rule should allow TCP 514 outbound from the web servers to the log collector.


NEW QUESTION # 105
A cloud administrator needs to deploy a security virtual appliance in a private cloud environment, but this appliance will not be part of the standard catalog of items for other users to request. Which of the following is the BEST way to accomplish this task?

  • A. Import the virtual appliance into the environment and deploy it as a VM
  • B. Create an empty VM. import the hard disk of the virtual appliance. and configure the CPU and memory.
  • C. Convert the virtual appliance to a template and deploy a new VM using the template.
  • D. Acquire the build scripts from the vendor and recreate the appliance using the baseline templates

Answer: A

Explanation:
Explanation
The correct answer is C. Import the virtual appliance into the environment and deploy it as a VM.
A virtual appliance is a pre-packaged and pre-configured software solution that runs on a virtual machine (VM). A virtual appliance typically consists of an operating system, an application, and any required dependencies, and is designed to provide a specific function or service. A virtual appliance can be distributed as a single file or a set of files that can be imported into a virtualization platform, such as VMware, Hyper-V, or KVM .
A cloud administrator can deploy a security virtual appliance in a private cloud environment by importing the virtual appliance into the environment and deploying it as a VM. This is the best way to accomplish this task because it preserves the original configuration and functionality of the virtual appliance, and does not require any additional installation or customization. The cloud administrator can also control the access and visibility of the virtual appliance, and prevent other users from requesting it from the standard catalog of items .
Creating an empty VM, importing the hard disk of the virtual appliance, and configuring the CPU and memory is not the best way to accomplish this task because it involves more steps and complexity than importing the virtual appliance as a whole. It also introduces the risk of losing or corrupting some data or settings during the import process, or misconfiguring the CPU and memory for the virtual appliance.
Acquiring the build scripts from the vendor and recreating the appliance using the baseline templates is not the best way to accomplish this task because it involves more time and effort than importing the virtual appliance directly. It also depends on whether the vendor provides the build scripts or not, and whether they are compatible with the baseline templates or not.
Converting the virtual appliance to a template and deploying a new VM using the template is not the best way to accomplish this task because it adds an unnecessary step of creating a template from the virtual appliance. It also does not prevent other users from accessing or requesting the template from the catalog of items.

* Minimize organizational infrastructure and comply with security standards.
* Minimize organizational compliance efforts.
* Focus on application development and increase speed to market.
Which of the following should the organization consider, given the requirements listed above?

  • A. Use cloud-native serverless services.
  • B. Harden servers using repeatable compliance templates.
  • C. Implement automated compliance scanning tools.
  • D. Deploy compliance linters in the CI/CD pipeline.

Answer: A

Explanation:
Explanation
One possible answer is:
A: Use cloud-native serverless services.
Cloud-native serverless services are a type of cloud computing that allows developers to build and run applications without having to manage servers, infrastructure, or scaling. Cloud-native serverless services can help the organization meet the requirements listed above, as they can:
Minimize organizational infrastructure and comply with security standards. Cloud-native serverless services are fully managed by the cloud provider, which means the organization does not have to provision, configure, or maintain any servers or infrastructure. The cloud provider also handles the security aspects of the serverless environment, such as encryption, authentication, authorization, patching, and monitoring. The organization can focus on developing the application logic and rely on the cloud provider to meet the security standards12.
Minimize organizational compliance efforts. Cloud-native serverless services can also help the organization reduce the compliance burden, as they can leverage the compliance certifications and attestations of the cloud provider. The cloud provider can ensure that the serverless environment complies with various regulations and standards, such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001, etc. The organization can inherit the compliance posture of the cloud provider and avoid the hassle of auditing and validating their own infrastructure12.
Focus on application development and increase speed to market. Cloud-native serverless services can also enable the organization to accelerate the development and delivery of their online product, as they can write code using their preferred programming languages and frameworks, and deploy it quickly and easily to the serverless environment. The serverless environment can automatically scale up or down based on the demand, ensuring high availability and performance. The organization can also integrate serverless services with other cloud services, such as databases, storage, analytics, etc., to create a full-stack application12.


NEW QUESTION # 109
A company is currently running a website on site. However, because of a business requirement to reduce current RTO from 12 hours to one hour, and the RPO from one day to eight hours, the company is considering operating in a hybrid environment. The website uses mostly static files and a small relational database. Which of the following should the cloud architect implement to achieve the objective at the LOWEST cost possible?

  • A. Implement a load-balanced environment in the cloud that is equivalent to the current on-premises setup and use DNS to shift the load from on premises to cloud.
  • B. Implement a website replica in the cloud with auto-scaling using the smallest possible footprint. Use DNS to shift the load from on premises to the cloud.
  • C. Implement backups to cloud storage and infrastructure as code to provision the environment automatically when the on-premises site is down. Restore the data from the backups.
  • D. Implement a CDN that caches all requests with a higher TTL and deploy the laaS instances manually in case of disaster. Upload the backup on demand to the cloud to restore on the new instances.

Answer: B

Explanation:
Explanation
This is the best solution to achieve the objective of reducing current RTO (Recovery Time Objective) from 12 hours to one hour, and RPO (Recovery Point Objective) from one day to eight hours, at the lowest cost possible, for a website that uses mostly static files and a small relational database. RTO is a metric that measures how quickly a system or service can be restored after a disruption or disaster. RPO is a metric that measures how much data can be lost or how far back in time a recovery point can be without causing significant impact or damage. To reduce RTO and RPO, the administrator should implement a website replica in the cloud with auto-scaling using the smallest possible footprint. A website replica is a copy or backup of a website that can be used for recovery or failover purposes. Auto-scaling is a feature that allows cloud resources or systems to adjust their capacity and performance according to demand or workload. Using auto-scaling with the smallest possible footprint can minimize costs by using only the necessary resources and scaling up or down as needed. The administrator should also use DNS (Domain Name System) to shift the load from on premises to the cloud. DNS is a service that translates domain names into IP addresses and vice versa. Using DNS, the administrator can redirect traffic from the on-premises website to the cloud replica in case of a disruption or disaster, and vice versa when recovery is complete.


NEW QUESTION # 110
A company is planning to migrate applications to a public cloud, and the Chief Information Officer (CIO) would like to know the cost per business unit for the applications in the cloud. Before the migration, which of the following should the administrator implement FIRST to assist with reporting the cost for each business unit?

  • A. An SLA report
  • B. Tagging
  • C. Quotas
  • D. Showback

Answer: B

Explanation:
Explanation
Tagging is what the administrator should implement first to assist with reporting the cost for each business unit for applications in a public cloud environment. Tagging is a technique that allows customers to assign metadata or labels to their cloud resources, such as applications, instances, volumes, etc., based on their attributes or criteria. Tagging can help customers to organize, manage, monitor, and report their cloud resources and costs by business unit, project, owner, environment, etc.


NEW QUESTION # 111
An administrator has been informed that some requests are taking a longer time to respond than other requests of the same type. The cloud consumer is using multiple network service providers and is performing link load balancing for bandwidth aggregation. Which of the following commands will help the administrator understand the possible latency issues?

  • A. traceroute
  • B. netstat
  • C. ipconfig
  • D. ping

Answer: D

Explanation:
Ping is the command that will help the administrator understand the possible latency issues between different network service providers and link load balancing for bandwidth aggregation. Ping is a network utility that sends packets of data to a specific IP address or hostname and measures the time it takes for them to be sent back (round-trip time). Ping can help to test connectivity, availability, and latency of network devices or systems. Ping can help to understand latency issues by comparing the round-trip times between different network service providers and link load balancing devices, and identifying any delays or variations in response times.


NEW QUESTION # 112

NEW QUESTION # 113
Which of the following cloud deployment models allows a company to have full control over its IT infrastructure?

  • A. Hybrid
  • B. Public
  • C. Private
  • D. Cloud within a cloud

Answer: C

Explanation:
Explanation
A private cloud is a type of cloud deployment model that provides cloud services exclusively to a single organization or tenant. A private cloud allows a company to have full control over its IT infrastructure, as it can customize, configure, manage, and secure its own cloud environment according to its specific needs and preferences. A private cloud can also offer higher performance, reliability, and privacy than other cloud deployment models, as it does not share resources or data with other customers.

NEW QUESTION # 116
A cloud administrator has created a new asynchronous workflow lo deploy VMs to the cloud in bulk. When the workflow is tested for a single VM, it completes successfully. However, if the workflow is used to create
50 VMs at once, the job fails. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the issue? (Choose two.)

  • A. No connectivity to the public cloud
  • B. Expired API token
  • C. Disabled autoscaling
  • D. Incorrect permissions
  • E. Billing issues with the cloud provider
  • F. Insufficient storage

Answer: B,F

Explanation:
Explanation
The most likely causes of the issue where the new asynchronous workflow fails to create 50 VMs at once in the public cloud are insufficient storage and expired API token. Insufficient storage means that there is not enough disk space available in the public cloud to accommodate all the VMs that are being created simultaneously. This could result in errors or failures during the provisioning process. Expired API token means that the authentication credential that is used by the workflow to communicate with the public cloud service has expired or become invalid. This could result in errors or failures during the API calls or requests.
