   • Downsize the CPU and memory assignment.
   • Decrease assigned storage capacity.
   • Implement storage compression.

5. An administrator needs to make a file-level backup of a VM before deploying monthly updates. The backup should capture all changes since the last backup but should NOT reset the archive bit on any files.

   • Establish and document standard changes.

8. A cloud administrator is given a requirement to maintain a copy of all system logs for seven years. All servers are deployed in a public cloud provider’s environment.

   Which of the following is the MOST cost-efficient solution for retaining these logs?

   • Create a long-term storage repository at the cloud provider. Have all logs copied to the cloud storage device.
   • Schedule a nightly job on each server to archive all logs. Copy them to a compressed drive on the server.
   • Configure SMTP services on each server and schedule a nightly job to email the logs to the cloud administrator team’s email account.
   • Configure a nightly job on each server to copy all logs to a single server. Schedule a job on the server to archive those logs into a compressed drive.

9. A cloud administrator is load balancing six VMs on an IaaS cloud service. The organization has an SLA stating the application should be available 99.999% of the time. At present, the six VMs are handling the load from one region and three availability zones. System baselines have confirmed there must be at least six VMs to handle this load.

   Given this scenario, which of the following should the administrator recommend to BEST meet these requirements?

   • Implement and procure three VMs and spread them across three availability zones.
   • Implement and procure six VMs and add them to the three existing availability zones.
   • Implement and procure another region and set up three VMs across three availability zones.
   • Implement and procure another region and set up six VMs across three availability zones.

10. A company needs to meet the security requirements for PII. Which of the following cloud service models allows the company to have the MOST control to meet the security requirements?

    • SaaS
    • laaS
    • PaaS
    • XaaS

11. At 2:00 a.m each day, the database team runs a batch job to import the sales data for the day, index it, and generate sales reports for the next day. The team has informed the cloud administrator that sales data is expected to increase in the next month and will take longer to complete. The current environment uses several batch servers that process chunks of data individually.

    Which of the following is the BEST approach for the cloud administrator to take to handle the increased load?

    • Reschedule the nightly batch job to start at midnight to allow for more processing time.
    • Configure an auto-scaling group for the existing batch processing servers.
    • Manually add more batch processing servers to the cloud environment.
    • Increase the CPU and memory resources to the existing batch processing servers.

12. An automation performs the following on a monthly basis:

    – Disable accounts that have not logged on in the last 60 days
    – Remove firewall rules with zero hits in the last 30 days
    – Remove DNS entries that have not been updated in the last 60 days
    – Archive all logs that are more than 30 days old

    Six weeks after this new automation is implemented, an internal client reports that quarterly replication failover testing has failed.

    Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the failed test?

    • Disabling accounts
    • Removing firewall rules
    • Removing DNS entries
    • Archiving logs

13. Users at a university are experiencing slow response and performance issues with private cloud services. The university was compromised, and a loss of bandwidth utilization was reported.

    Without deploying new software, which of the following should be performed to determine the cause of the issues?

    • Send all logs for all cloud components to an event and incident management system for correlation and review.
    • Locate all load balancers in the cloud and replace them with the latest version of content delivery controllers.
