   • Change the second full backup in a week to incremental.
   • Change the second full backup in a week to differential.
   • Change the schedule of full backups to start earlier.

4. A facilities management company uses a private cloud that bursts to a public cloud at times. The CSA is asked to check the amount of storage that is used when the organization is overutilizing on-premises resources.

   Which of the following should the CSA check?

6. SIMULATION                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          The QA team is testing a newly implemented clinical trial management (CTM) SaaS application that uses a business intelligence application for reporting. The UAT users were instructed to use HTTP and HTTPS. Refer to the application dataflow:1A – The end user accesses the application through a web browser to enter and view clinical data.
   2A – The CTM application server reads/writes data to/from the database server.1B – The end user accesses the application through a web browser to run reports on clinical data.
   2B – The CTM application server makes a SOAP call on a non-privileged port to the BI application server.
   3B – The BI application server gets the data from the database server and presents it to the CTM application server.

   When UAT users try to access the application using https://ctm.app.com or http://ctm.app.com, they get a message stating: “Browser cannot display the webpage.” The QA team has raised a ticket to troubleshoot the issue.

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

7. A law firm wants to limit log retention to the minimum required by law and regulation. Which of the following is the engineer most likely to do FIRST?

   • Create a 2GB external hard drive to log all activities.
   • Configure all systems in scope to log activities in support of company policies.
   • Configure a daily rotation on all workstations to limit the logs’ discovery scope.
   • Deduplicate, compress, and encrypt all logs before archiving them.

8. Cloud developers are experiencing a delay caused by the static code review before each deployment. The security operator and developer must address the issue without cutting corners with security testing. Which of the following would BEST address the delay issue?

   • Replace the static code analysis with hardening techniques.
   • Perform the static code analysis earlier in the SDLC.
   • Perform a penetration test instead of a static code analysis.
   • Replace the static code analysis with a vulnerability analysis.

9. All the virtual server instances within an organization’s private cloud environment are having trouble logging into the Kerberos realm. Upon investigation, the CSA notices the time stamps are different on the server virtual instances. Which of the following should be the CSA’s NEXT step to resolve this issue?

   • Check the Kerberos token time stamp.
   • Check the NTP server to see when it last rebooted.
   • Check the NTP server synchronization.
   • Check the virtual server time display format.

10. A company provides IaaS services. Which of the following disk provisioning models for creating standard template should the company use to provision virtual instances?

    • Thin disk
    • SCSI disk
    • SATA disk
    • Thick disk

11. Several state and local law enforcement agencies have decided to share information about traffic violations within their state by using a new search application. The state has policies around limiting the exposure of PII, and each local agency must comply with these policies. Which of the following cloud architecture models would be the BEST approach?

    • Deploy the application to a public cloud and establish connections for each local agencies’ private cloud and use federation.
    • Have each local agency publish its data to an account that has been set up in a public cloud provider and deploy the application there.
    • Deploy the application in each local agency’s private cloud and create accounts for everyone to allow access to publish and search the data.
    • Deploy the application in the state’s shared cloud environment and create federation between the local agencies.
12. A cloud engineer is upgrading a high-performance computing cluster for the private cloud. The existing cluster is being replaced with GPU servers. A single GPU server is capable of the same teraflops output as 10 CPU servers. The current cluster configuration is as follows:
    100 quad-core CPU servers capable of producing 100 teraflops.
    The baseline and current usage is 100%.

    The new cluster was set up and benchmarked in four different configurations. Which of the following configurations will meet the baseline teraflops performance of the cluster while maintaining the current usage?
