CompTIA A+ - Virtualization and Cloud Computing Example Questions

Test your knowledge of Virtualization and Cloud Computing

Question 1

A company is planning to move its IT infrastructure to the cloud. They have sensitive data and strict compliance requirements, but also need the ability to scale their resources quickly. What cloud deployment model would best suit their needs?

Correct Answer: Hybrid Cloud

The Hybrid Cloud model is the best fit for this company's needs. It combines the benefits of both public and private clouds, allowing the company to store sensitive data and meet compliance requirements on a private cloud infrastructure, while leveraging the scalability and flexibility of public cloud resources for other workloads. A purely Public Cloud may not provide sufficient control and security for sensitive data, while a Private Cloud alone may not offer the rapid scalability needed. A Community Cloud, shared by organizations with similar requirements, is less suitable for a single company's specific needs.

Question 2

You are implementing a virtualized environment that requires two isolated networks for different security levels. Which feature should you use to create this separation?

Correct Answer: Virtual Network Segmentation

Virtual Network Segmentation is the correct answer because it allows the creation of isolated networks within a virtualized environment. This feature enables separating networks based on different security levels, ensuring that traffic from one network cannot access the other. Virtual Machine High Availability focuses on keeping virtual machines running in case of hardware failures, Live Migration allows moving running virtual machines between hosts, and Resource Pool Allocation is about assigning resources to VMs. None of these other features directly address network isolation for security purposes.

Question 3

An organization wants to implement VDI for its employees, but users are complaining about slow application performance. What is the best solution to improve application performance?

Correct Answer: Enable application virtualization

Application virtualization can improve performance by separating applications from the OS and allowing the application to execute in an optimized environment. The other answers either do not address application performance or may cause performance degradation.
