    • Dynamic power control
    • Workload scheduling
    • High Availability
    • Load balancing

12. A rural manufacturing company wants to move all IT services, including the industrial control systems, to the cloud.

    Given this scenario, which of the following cloud services elements would be a challenge to the deployment?

    • Computing capacity flexibility
    • Industrial control system security
    • Integrated service digital network
    • Network broadband access

13. A new service request asks for all members of the finance department to have access to the accounting department’s file server VMs on the private cloud environment.

    Which of the following is the MOST efficient way to fulfill this service request?

    • Set up duplicate file server VMs that the finance department has access to and enable two-way replication.
    • Add all users of the finance department to the accounting departments file server VMs access lists.
    • Implement a single sign-on and two-factor authentication solution using a soft token.
    • Create a new group for the finance department that will allow access to the accounting department’s file server VMs.

14. A cloud engineer received a support call indicating web apps running on an IaaS server are unavailable. The engineer took the following trouble-shooting steps:

    – Hypothesized the server outage is considered to be the cause of the problem.
    – Performed rollback of applied patches.
    – Ensured all web apps are running correctly.
    – Documented the incident.

    Which of the following troubleshooting methodology steps did the cloud engineer overlook?
