DES-2T13: Specialist - Cloud Architect, Cloud Infrastructure

What are key focus areas of requirements gathering for a cloud design?

You are a cloud architect responsible for designing a multiple availability zone configuration for the organization's geographically dispersed clouds. You must provide the ability for services to survive a failure at the data center or site level. The primary requirement is to provide for automated site recovery.

What is a key consideration for automating the setup, failover, and recovery of services at the remote site?

During an assessment for an organization's cloud design, a cloud architect discovers that developers will be creating applications for tenants. The applications will self-scale based on an internal trigger. The architect has included CMP components in the design that will support this requirement.

What else should the cloud architect consider to meet this requirement?

You are designing the VLANs for a CI cloud. You want to separate the LAN traffic to prevent oversubscription.

What are the traffic categories you should use?

DRAG DROP

As part of the planning process, a cloud architect may use tools to gather data from customer systems.
Match each tool with its associated description.

Case 1
Refer to the exhibit.

Your company recently negotiated several contracts with new customers to use its proprietary eCommerce system. As a result, the customer base has grown rapidly, which has introduced several challenges and requirements.
Business requirements:
Applications need to scale quickly Metrics and reporting to anticipate business trends and efficient use of resources External customers are looking to license the eCommerce application Other considerations: Applications need to be recorded for the public cloud Address security vulnerabilities for customer data in the cloud

Refer to Case 1.
You are tasked with designing a cloud. You review the existing infrastructure and business requirements.
You select a CI solution to replace the existing Platform 2.0 infrastructure. Before presenting this solution to the company, you must calculate the 3-year TCO using the following criteria: Hardware maintenance = $ 35,000
Software maintenance = $ 20,000
Storage = $ 2,000 (2TB @ $ 1/GB)

What is the correct TCO value?

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS REMINDER
The remaining questions are associated with two cases. Each case has an introductory, descriptive passage (case text) that describes background information and requirements for a specific cloud based design. And each case has a set of six related, randomized questions. You will need to read the case text in order to answer the related questions correctly.
Given that there are two cases with six scored questions each, the total number of case-based scored questions is 12.
When you display each questions you can easily review the related case text in a pop-up window by clicking on the "Case" icon (shown below)

Case 4
Refer to the exhibit.

Your company is currently using a traditional SAN storage network. The server infrastructure is partially virtualized. There is a public cloud in place that is used to test development and application migration to cloud.
Business requirements:
Consolidate the network, storage, and compute resources Simplify network management and storage
provisioning Maintain application performance
Need to share resources to reduce cost and improve efficiency Other considerations: Monitoring of protection SLAs
All transactions must be logged for auditing review Users are validated using internal credentials Refer to Case 4.
You are designing the network components for a Do-It-Yourself private cloud solution. You want to restrict domain events and minimize traffic disruptions between nodes.

Which compute to storage connectivity solution provides this function?

What is the minimum number of nodes supported for a HCI deployment with RAID 5 erasure coding?

As a cloud architect designing a DIY PaaS Solution, you have concluded that using containers to support the target application is the best choice.

What consideration supports that decision?
