Cloud Service A is hosted by Virtual Server A, which is hosted by Hypervisor A that resides on Physical Server A. Cloud Storage Device A is used to store media library data that is continuously replicated with a redundant, secondary implementation of Cloud Storage A (not shown). Access to Cloud Service A is monitored by Pay-Per-Use Monitor A. Access to Cloud Storage Device A is monitored by Pay-Per-Use Monitor B. Pay-Per-Use Monitors A and B capture billing-related usage data that is forwarded to a billing management system that is hosted by Physical Server B.

Cloud Service Consumer A accesses Cloud Service A and the usage data is captured by Pay-Per-Use Monitor A (1). Cloud Consumer B accesses Cloud Storage Device A via a usage and administration portal that it uses to upload media data (2). This usage is captured by Pay-Per-Use Monitor B (3). Pay-Per-Use Monitors A and B store collected usage data in the billing management system (4), which is later used by the cloud provider to bill for the usage of Cloud Service A and Cloud Storage Device A.

Each service instance of Cloud Service A requires a virtual server with 2 virtual CPUs and 4 GBs of RAM at a package price of $2.00 for each initial invocation and an additional $0.50 for each consecutive 60 seconds of usage. Cloud Service Consumer A accesses Cloud Service A twice in one day. The two exchanges with Cloud Service A last 60 seconds and 120 seconds. For that one day, the organization that owns Cloud Service Consumer A is billed $6.50, which it determines is incorrect. After complaining to the cloud provider, it is discovered that the rapid provisioning system responsible for provisioning instances of Cloud Service A is not de-provisioning Cloud Service A when Cloud Service Consumer A indicates it has completed an exchange. Instead, Cloud Service A is de-provisioned after a 60 second timeout that occurs after Cloud Service Consumer A is completed with an exchange.

Storage space on Cloud Storage Device A can only be purchased in units of terabytes (TBs), with each TB costing $1 per day. Cloud Consumer B purchases 5 TBs of storage space on day 1 and stores 5 TBs of data on days 6 and 7. Cloud Consumer B was expecting to be billed $10.00, but is billed $35. After raising a complaint, Cloud Consumer B is informed by the cloud provider that cloud consumers are billed based on the allocation of storage space, regardless of how much storage space they actually use.

Which of the following statements describes a solution that can update the cloud architecture to avoid these billing-related problems and discrepancies?

A cloud provider has two cloud environments (Cloud A and Cloud B) that are in different geographical regions. Cloud Service A resides in Cloud A. A redundant implementation of Cloud Service A resides in Cloud B. An automated scaling listener is used in Cloud A to automatically balance the workload of requests for Cloud Service A across the two redundant implementations.

Cloud Service A is required to access Cloud Storage Device A, which also resides in Cloud A. A redundant implementation of Cloud Storage Device A is located in Cloud B. A failover system is used to ensure that if the Cloud Storage Device A implementation in Cloud A fails, the Cloud Storage Device A implementation in Cloud B takes its place.

Cloud Service Consumer A is owned by Organization A. Cloud Service Consumer A sends a request to Cloud Service A (1). The automated scaling listener intercepts the request and directs it to the Cloud Service A implementation in Cloud A (2). This Cloud Service A implementation attempts to access Cloud Storage Device A in Cloud A, but Cloud Storage Device A fails (3). The failover system redirects the request to Cloud Storage Device A in Cloud B (4). Cloud Service Consumer B sends a request to Cloud Service A (5). The automated scaling listener intercepts the request and directs it to the Cloud Service A implementation in Cloud B (6). This Cloud Service A implementation accesses Cloud Storage Device A in Cloud B to fulfil the request (7).

An unexpected outage occurs in Cloud A, making Cloud Service A unavailable. Organization A notices that its cloud resource administrator can continue accessing data in Cloud Storage Device A via a usage and administration portal. Cloud Service Consumer A is unable to access data in Cloud Storage Device A via Cloud Service A during the outage. The cloud resource administrator manually restarts Cloud Service A and it continues to function normally.

Organization A needs to change the cloud architecture so that when Cloud Service A fails, three automated attempts are made to recover it before a manual restart is required.

Due to data storage regulations, Organization A is prohibited from storing some types of data across more than one cloud storage device. A large amount of the data in Cloud Storage Device A is subject to these regulations. Because of an increase in usage, the capacity of Cloud Storage Device A has reached its limit, resulting in regular delays and lag time when processing data access requests during peak usage times.

A management change by another cloud consumer organization inadvertently reconfigures settings in the failover system used in Cloud A for Cloud Storage Device A. Organization A complains to the cloud provider who promises to take the steps required to prevent management tasks performed by other cloud consumer organizations from affecting IT resources being used by Organization A.

Which of the following statements describes a solution that can resolve all of these issues?

Virtual Server A is hosted by Hypervisor A, which resides on Physical Server A. Virtual Server A

hosts Cloud Services A and B. Virtual Server B is hosted by Hypervisor B on Physical Server B.

Physical Server C is currently not being used.

Cloud Service Consumer A sends a request to Cloud Service A that is intercepted by Pay-Per-Use

Monitor A

(1), which collects billing-related usage data that is later forwarded to the billing management system

(2). Cloud Service A receives and processes the request

(3). Cloud Consumer B accesses the usage and administration portal

(4) to access data on Cloud Storage Device B. Pay-Per-Use Monitor B intercepts the data access to collect and forward billing-related usage data to the billing management system

(5). Cloud Storage Device B processes the data access request from Cloud Consumer B

(6).

Cloud Service Consumer A and Cloud Consumer B belong to Organization A

Cloud Storage Device B is accessed on a regular basis by Cloud Consumer B. However,

managers at Organization A receive reports from their cloud resource administrator that Cloud Storage Device B is unavailable for longer periods and more frequently than what they expected, based on the SLA availability guarantee they were provided by the cloud provider. This results in wasted time when the cloud resource administrator attempts to upload or access data and then discovers that Cloud Storage Device B is unavailable. The cloud resource administrator requires a means of checking for the availability of Cloud Storage Device B prior to attempting access.

As the workload increases on Physical Server B, Cloud Consumer B begins to receive runtime exceptions and degraded data access performance from Cloud Storage Device B. It is determined that the cause of the deteriorating performance is a network bottleneck that has formed on Physical Server B due to its bandwidth capacity being reached, primarily because of other cloud consumer organizations also sharing its hosted IT resources.

Organization A receives a monthly billing statement that shows the charges for the total usage of Cloud Service A during that period. However, Organization A requires a more detailed breakdown of the types of usage and their associated costs. For example, Cloud Service Consumer A can issue requests for information by employees within Organization A and on behalf of clients of Organization A. Organization A requires a breakdown of the usage costs incurred on behalf of clients so that it can bill the clients for this usage accordingly. The cloud provider informs Organization A that it has no existing monitor that can collect and log this detailed usage information and suggests that Organization A customize its own monitor.

Which of the following statements lists the patterns that can be applied to solve these three problems?

Cloud Service A is installed on Virtual Server A and the database it accesses is located on Cloud Storage Device A. Both Virtual Servers A and B are hosted by Hypervisor A. Requests from cloud

service consumers are intercepted by an automated scaling listener that automatically routes subsequent requests to additional instances of Cloud Service A whenever the given usage of an instance exceeds two concurrent requests.

Cloud Service Consumer A accesses Cloud Service A (1), which either sends a query or a read/write request to a database on Cloud Storage Device A (2). A usage and administration portal is available, enabling Cloud Consumer A to view the billing and usage history of Virtual Servers A and B (3).

Cloud Service Consumer A and Cloud Consumer A are owned by Organization A. which performs several tests on the cloud architecture that produce the following results:

A stress test is performed to generate workloads on Virtual Servers A and B to gauge their load capacity. This test reveals that both virtual servers have firm workload thresholds. If the workload capacity on either virtual server reaches its threshold, further processing requests are rejected.

An availability test shows that Cloud Service A becomes unavailable whenever Hypervisor A crashes.

A security test is carried out during which the cloud architecture is accessed by a malicious cloud consumer that disables the path used by Cloud Service A to access Cloud Storage Device A, thereby causing all subsequent cloud service consumer requests to be replied to with data access errors.

Which of the following statements describes a solution that addresses the concerns raised by the three tests?

Cloud Service A requires access to Cloud Storage Device A and Cloud Storage Device B. Cloud Service A is hosted by Virtual Server A. Virtual Server A and Virtual Server B are hosted by Hypervisor A, which resides on Physical Server A.

Cloud Service Consumer A sends a request to access Cloud Service A (1). Cloud Service A retrieves data from Cloud Storage Device A and Cloud Storage Device B (2). Cloud Consumer A uses the usage and administration portal to access resource usage reports for Cloud Service A (3).

Cloud Service Consumer A and Cloud Consumer A belong to Organization A, which is leasing an laaS environment from the cloud provider.

The cloud provider makes Cloud Service A available to several new cloud service consumers.

Additionally, new LUNs are created on Cloud Storage Devices A and B for new cloud consumers to perform regular data access functions. This increase in workload causes Virtual Server A to fail during peak usage periods. Organization A and the new cloud consumer organizations request that the cloud provider find a way to dynamically support the higher usage workloads.

Organization A keeps its master files and data in LUN B in Cloud Storage Device B. One day, a cloud resource administrator accidentally changes the path used to access LUN B. The original path cannot be retrieved. The cloud resource administrator informs Organization A's IT department that it must change any systems or tools it uses to access LUN B to the new path.

This causes significant challenges, as well as a costly period of disruption. Organization A asks the cloud provider to create a system that would help avoid disruption in access to LUN B, if this was to ever happen again.

The cloud provider has made Cloud Storage Device A part of a resource pool of synchronized cloud storage devices. Organization A is sharing Cloud Storage Device A with another cloud consumer organization. When cloud consumers from both organizations access Cloud Storage Device A at the same time, they encounter a resource constraint condition that causes Cloud Storage Device A to fail. Organization A requests that the cloud provider extend the existing cloud architecture to prevent this situation from happening again.
